Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

sometimes Clynelish can be a little closed at first, and that’s what happens here. That’s why some malt lovers have sometimes problems with Clynelish, they don’t give them enough time in my opinion. Anyway, this baby starts mineral and grassy, with only touches of earth/roots and a little pear in the background; Let’s let it breathe a bit… …. …. (after fifteen minutes) right, there is a little more wax and bergamot, as well as some fresh mint and eucalyptus leaves, but it remains kind of shy and restrained

restaurant Palate

ah yes, now we’re talking. Grapefruits and orange zests, light kumquats (well, kumquats), bitter pears, cider apples… But almost no wax

timer Finish

good length, even more on apples
