Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

it’s really fun how some raisiny tones from the sherry complement an otherwise rather citric and farmy Clynelish. So it’s not so much the wax that comes out, rather a kind of wild fruit salad, very ‘organic’. Earth and ‘clean’ manure plus some brine. With water: another one that swims like a champ, like most Clynelishes. Perfect grapefruits and leather grease plus humus and a little motor oil

restaurant Palate

perfect! Once again, the raisins are in action on a bed of grapefruits, oranges, fresh walnuts, white chocolate and vanilla. Very creamy mouth feel, almost syrupy. Some grass too. With water: more crystal-clean citrus fruits and rather less raisins now. Touches of mint and liquorice lozenges

timer Finish

long, chiselled, citrusy and mineral. Touches of caraway seeds in the aftertaste
