Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it’s the purity and freshness which strikes first. Wet rocks, chalk, plasticine, all manner of fresh fabrics and linens and lots of crushed sea shells. There’s a rather inky and medical side as well with note of gorse, citronella candles, bandages and things like myrtle and wintergreen. You also get this rather punchy and almost visceral impression of the base maltiness of the spirit; dusty malt bins and raw cereals galore. Powerful but irrefutably excellent and impressive. With water: still very medical with some new notes of cloves, hessian and mineral salts. In fact it does get rather more coastal and crisp
restaurant Palate
wonderfully fat, gloopy, syrupy and waxy. A kind of medical waxiness, like lanolin, canvass, plasters and medical tinctures. It’s also rounder, sweeter and more generous than the nose suggests. Where before there was kind of brute austerity at play, here there’s more malt extract, citrus oils, heather ale and classical Clynelish waxiness giving superb texture. With water: big, generous and full of broad waxy, medical, cereal and mineral brush strokes. The texture becomes oilier, fuller - more towards mineral oil and herbal cough syrups. There’s no way around it: this is superb Clynelish!
timer Finish
über long and very cereal, waxy, flinty, lightly peppery, saline, chalky and surprisingly floral and elegant
