Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

a rather rounder one, with more banana from the bourbon wood, more fruits, jellybeans, liquorice allsorts, then rather oranges. One of the fruitier Clynelishes from that era, but the mineral wax (or waxy minerals) remain just below the surface. With water: the farmy side comes out. Soaked barley?

restaurant Palate

starts very lemony, with a little icing sugar as well, then some creamy all-flower honey as well as an engaging greenness (grass, tea). I also find notes of seashells and edible seaweed, Japanese style, then much more pepper and even peat. Very good. With water: great, a mezcaly side comes out. Smoked agaves, citrons… You may add half a marshmallow

timer Finish

long, ultra-clean and zesty
