Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 북동부 해안가 브로라에 자리한 클라인리시는 특유의 왁스 같은 질감으로 알려진 증류소다. 1983년을 채운 이 위스키는 옅은 황금빛을 띤다. 호그스헤드에서 19년을 보낸 만큼 밀랍과 잘 익은 배, 옅은 소금기의 향이 또렷하게 피어오른다. 57.5도의 단단한 힘으로, 입에서는 기름진 왁스 질감 위로 시트러스와 후추가 곧게 밀려온다. 여운은 짭조름한 미네랄과 밀랍의 풍미로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
a little closed at first, but some fantastic notes of vanilla cream mixed with fresh mint develop after a few seconds… Lots of cooked cabbage and rubber/latex too. The latex gets then bolder and bigger. Quite some smoke, tar, roasted peanuts, omelette. Perhaps just a little sulphury. So special – and beautiful. Some nice grassy notes arrive after a moment... Wow!
restaurant Palate
what a punch! Dried tropical fruits, bacon, caramel, heather honey. Lots of tar, burnt cake etc. Hints of flowers jam, nectar… Stunning and extremely interesting. The casks must have been something! Top quality! The precursor of the a’bunadhs? In any case, this one is aromatically bolder and more complex that all a’bunadhs, in spite of its lower alcohol level. Just great! 91 points . MUSIC - Recommended listening: WhiskyFun favourite Nellie McKay uploaded a full gig of her's here . She rules! Please buy her music...
