Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 손안에서 굴리면 윤기 어린 금빛이 잔 벽을 천천히 흘러내린다. 코를 가까이 하면 클라인리시 특유의 양초 왁스와 꿀, 셰리 옥타브가 더한 마른 과일 향이 겹친다. 한 모금 머금어 혀에 굴리면 기름진 듯 매끄러운 질감 위로 오렌지와 견과, 가벼운 소금기가 번진다. 1989년 22년 숙성답게 왁스 같은 결이 한층 우아해졌고, 삼키면 꿀과 오크의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
we’re extremely close to the Perfect Dram, although this one is a tad less briny and rather waxier. In other words, a notch more ‘Clynelish’ and a tad less smoky. With water: more ginger and gentian, which is exactly what I like. Earth from the seaside
restaurant Palate
perfect again. Pepper, ginger and wax, then grapefruits, fresh coriander and lemon zests. Did I mention wax? With water: super great, only a few paraffiny tones (vs. downright waxy ones) may make it a tiny notch less stellar than the previous one. Nitpicking, you’re right, especially since that may come from just anything, like one more drop of water and such
timer Finish
long, salty, waxy, lemony and a little candied in the aftertaste (kumquats and ginger)
