Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
as waxy and rather smokier than the 'average' young Clynelish, with then quite some lemon squash and just touches of brine and menthol. Then a little hay. Extremely fresh
restaurant Palate
it's quite big at 43% vol., maybe a little harsher now, with this slight soapiness that pre-dates the trademark waxines in my experience, when the whisky's still a notch immature. Other than that, lemon and brine again. Quite a lot of salt, actually - right, a saltiness
timer Finish
long, a tad acrid and more vegetal. Grass, bitters…
