Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s always great to check the differences between an old, possibly ‘worm-coiled’ malt and a contemporary counterpart. Remember Clynelish’s stills are replicas of Brora’s. In this case, there’s all this fruity wax that’s a little louder than in the old 5, and much less mineral and phenolic notes. Kumquats and citrons, a little moss, sea spray (for that mariner), and a good deal of coal smoke
restaurant Palate
the filliation remains obvious, although once again, this is brighter, rather easier, and fruitier. Citrons, grapefruits, a touch of salt, a piece of smoked fish, and quite some lemon. Textbook 1997 Clynelish at an easy strength
timer Finish
good length, more herbal, otherwise very Clynelishy, that is to say waxy. Apples
