Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very buttery and nutty, with orange oils, cocktail bitters, butterscotch, cornflakes, and a slightly sour side (Gueuze beer). With water: improves (although it would go very hazy very quickly, showing that it’s a very oily distillate, although that often happens with anything G&M), with yellow flowers, mirabelles, even mirabelle eau-de-vie (which cannot be bad) orange blossom, pollen… Much nicer with water
restaurant Palate
sweet and bonbony, with Jaffa cakes, a little bit of Nutella, a Fanta-y side, some caraway, aquavit, tobacco… We don’t find it very Clynelishy we have to say. Milk stout says Angus. With water: once again it improves quite a lot, getting much better, with this orange-y waxiness, orange juice, Angus says you could make an Old Fashioned out of this very easily. Emmanuel shrugs with a French accent, then says that the Clynelish style appears with water
timer Finish
medium, rather more lemony than orange-y, with touches of turmeric, the aftertaste being very grapefruity. Pith
