Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 동북부 브로라 해안의 매서운 북해 바람이 클라이넬리시 12년 숙성에 왁시한 결을 새겼다. 1982년 보틀링된 이 빈티지는 잔에 짙은 황금빛이 잠겨 있고 노즈에는 밀랍, 솔티드 캐러멜, 짠 미네랄의 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 한 모금이 입에 들어오면 57도의 알코올과 함께 익은 배, 들꿀, 마른 풀잎의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 여운은 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁시함과 짠 광물질로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
extremely fresh and vibrant, with the trademark waxiness right upfront. Like always, these old Clynelishes make me think of the best ‘mineral’ Rieslings. Lots of rubbed orange skin, paraffin, iron, wet stone, developing then on linseed oil and lemon juice. A fabulous sharpness and lots of precision. Goes on with something very maritime, sea air, old fisherman’s nest… Hints of melon and quince. Really excellent
restaurant Palate
fab, just fab. Creamy but not limp, powerful but not violent, with a compactness that reminds me of the best old Springbanks. Lots of bitter oranges, wax, olive oil and honey, something subtly resinous, quite some peat, pepper and nutmeg, Japanese green tea… All that with a perfect balance. And the finish is long, slightly minty but also sweet and coating. Brilliant stuff again – a young whisky as it should be, if you ask me. 94 points .
