Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 호그스헤드에서 30년을 보낸 시간이 클라인리시 특유의 왁시한 질감을 더욱 정교하게 다듬었다. 밀랍과 꿀, 잘 익은 과수원 과일 향이 코끝에서 부드럽게 번진다. 한 모금은 기름진 듯 매끄럽게 흐르며 시트러스와 바닐라, 옅은 소금기가 입을 채운다. 30년 숙성의 깊이가 옅은 황금빛 잔에 담겨, 여운은 왁스와 미네랄로 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
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
