Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 해안의 클라인리시는 바닷바람과 황야의 풍토 속에서 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감을 빚어낸다. 1989년 증류해 호그스헤드에서 26년 보낸 이 위스키는 맑은 황금빛을 띤다. 코에는 밀랍과 레몬, 바닷소금을 머금은 듯한 미네랄 향이 또렷하게 열린다. 54.5도의 입안은 꿀과 짭짤한 시트러스, 양초 같은 기름진 결이 입천장을 감싼다. 해안 증류소다운 짠맛과 왁스의 균형이 단단하며, 여운에는 소금기와 마른 풀이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a different kind of complexity. Olivier feels the sugary side of the grains, notes of Gueuze, a touch of yeast, stone fruits, mirabelles, peaches… A touch of sawdust too, bark, young dry white Bordeaux… A little less emotion than in the others. Improves over time, with more aromatic herbs, lemon grass, lime… Dave finds it slow to open but worth the wait. A little ozonic, he says. He also finds fried plantains, ginger and ginseng. With water: more perfumed, with some pear tart. Also more classic Clynelish wax, wet limestone, a little menthol. Becomes purer
restaurant Palate
creamy, fruity, powerful. Very thick, needs concentration. White fruits and not much wax at this point, which is a little surprising. With water: sir, it’s a revolution! Opens up, everything comes out, first wax then more white fruits, grapefruits, that salinity… Dave thinks it really needs water
timer Finish
long, on more or less the same notes. Some ash
