Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
slightly dusty at first, but then quickly opens and becomes rather creamy with obvious vanilla tones. I would not say it is factor 11 Clynelish, but it's very elegant with these wee notes of bubblegum, gorse flower and sandalwood. With water: lemony, fresh, chalky, citric and with a crisp cereal note and some yeasty aspects too
restaurant Palate
as with the nose this is a sweeter and lighter style Clynelish, but there's this rather direct bubblegum note - which I enjoy - and more notes of gorse flower, canvass, muddled herbs and some grassy olive oil. With water: there's some elegant waxiness coming through now, along with some rather evocative and medical herbal notes such as wintergreen and myrtle. Heather honey, shilling ales and a little umami miso note
timer Finish
medium, lightly drying, peppery, gently herbal and some trace vanilla still lingering
