Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
왁스 같은 질감으로 이름난 클라이넬리시 1993년이 버번 캐스크에서 28년을 보내고 맑은 황금빛으로 잔에 빛난다. 코끝에는 밀랍과 잘 익은 배, 옅은 바닷내음이 어우러져 피어오르고, 그 뒤로 꿀이 따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 꿀과 시트러스, 가벼운 후추의 풍미가 기름진 질감으로 흐르고, 클라이넬리시 특유의 매끄러운 왁스 결이 혀를 감싼다. 54도의 기운이 단단하게 흐르며, 마지막에는 밀랍과 미네랄의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this wonderfully thick and bright waxiness, a particular fusion of honeys, flower nectars and waxy notes that seems to arise in 90s Clynelish at this age. There's also some sweet ales and fresh breads in the background, along with sweeter herbal cough medicine notes. Beautiful! With water: more waxes but also hints of aged Sauternes, tinned pineapple and yellow Chartreuse
restaurant Palate
excellent arrival, nicely powerful and peppery, with a big waxy vibe, some nicely sharp and controlled exotic fruit flavours centering around mango and pineapple, then herbal and fruit teas and more combinations of waxes and cough medicines. With water: getting a little mentholated, with slightly minty tobacco, hessian, olive oil, camphor and tea tree oil. Also more medicinal things like tiger balm and a really gloopy, textural waxiness. This one develops brilliantly with water!
timer Finish
long, more herbal, more medicinal and very wonderfully heathery with sandalwood, mead and big camphor vibes in the aftertaste
