Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 브로라 해안의 거친 바닷바람과 짠 안개가 클라이넬리시 1971의 캐릭터를 결정짓는다. 깊은 호박빛 너머로 밀랍과 시트러스 껍질, 짭조름한 미네랄의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 35년의 긴 시간이 만든 부드러운 단맛과 헤더 꿀이 두꺼운 질감으로 입을 채우고, 46.5도 알코올은 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁시함을 깊게 풀어낸다. 짠 미네랄이 여운에 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oooh (Angus says yeah). Pure wax, beach pebbles, chalk, paraffin, daisies, struck flints (smoke), almost like a chenin. It does have an Old Clynelish character, although the whole is rather mellower. What we don’t find, and which was in, for instance, the 1972s, are the tropical fruits. This one’s straighter, with a blade-like quality. With water: more citrus, lemon peel, preserved lemons, and seawater. Limestone and of course, wax
restaurant Palate
extremely intense, it’s very Clynelish, textural, fatty, with loads of camphor, hessian, earth and floor, and a white fruit side, perhaps litchis. Touches of Szechuan pepper over a gravely character. Powerful minerality. Amazing whiskies… With water: if you could mix olive oil, wax, and lemon juice. Pure distillate character (Angus says it’s almost Scottish grappa). Emmanuel says it’s not whisky for just anyone, at least not a whisky for beginners. Let’s say it’s not totally consensual
timer Finish
long, fat, waxy, with a little pepper and orange peel. Some hay as well
