Tasting Notes
1982년 보틀링된 클라이넬리쉬 12년의 짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 빛난다. Gordon and MacPhail Ainslie and Heilbron의 57도가 1980년대 초반의 빈티지 캐릭터를 보존하고 있다. 향에서는 부드러운 밀랍과 옅은 트로피컬 과실, 신선한 바닷 내음이 깊게 머문다. 입에서는 잘 익은 파인애플과 캐러멜의 부드러운 단맛이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 약한 후추가 깊이를 더한다. 색은 짙은 황금빛이며 여운은 오래된 우드의 잔향과 약한 짠 톤으로 길게 따라간다. 캐스크와 시간이 만든 정수가 잔에 매끄럽게 깃들어 있다.

it’s another level of purity, freshness and precision. The kind of power and intensity that goes beyond such descriptions as ‘austere’ or ‘tough’. This is a pretty brutal and uncompromising whisky, but it possesses a character that defies such easy or neat categorisations. There is a fruitiness there. It’s white, tart, clean and bright. A mix of lychee, blossoms, honey, various nectars, pollens and waxy citrus rinds. The intensity is just spectacular. Anyone that finds themselves presented with the opportunity should endeavour to try this whisky if they can. It and its siblings are really the ultimate and emblematic examples of what great Scottish malt whisky derived from the character of its raw ingredients and distilling and brewing human skills should be. There are technically better whiskies out there, but there’s something about this one which remains truly profound and speaks meaningfully about what good whisky can and should be. With water: fragrant flint smoke, sunflower oil, anchovies in brine, olive oil, wood ash, molten candle wax. Astonishing! A depth of aroma that’s truly compelling

wax dissolved in petrol. White flowers. Salty beach pebbles and old wood. Embrocations. Salty butter. Many, many beautiful tertiary things. Anti-maltoporn brigade on speed dial if you please. Although, sometimes I think it does these sorts of whiskies a disservice to not describe them properly and do them true justice. Myriad flinty, mineral and waxy aspects and complexities all twirling and dancing together. Intense, powerful and assertive yet also balances and harmonic. With water: tiny edges of mustard heat, white pepper, watercress. A broad, fatty slick of waxes, pine sap, herbal resins, oils, camphor, pitch, tar and waxed canvas. Anti-maltoporn brigade etc, etc
timer Finish
long, as you might imagine, a slow, unwinding snake of petrolic waxes, tar, peppers, oils, white fruits, flowers and pollen. Astonishingly beautiful whisky!
