Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 해안 브로라의 클라인리시는 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감과 짭짤함으로 사랑받는다. 1996년 증류해 버번 호그스헤드에서 16년을 보낸 칸 모르 보틀링은 맑은 황금빛을 띠며, 밀랍과 레몬, 마른 풀 향이 또렷하게 솟는다. 57.2도의 입안은 꿀과 시트러스, 옅은 미네랄이 매끈하게 흐르며 해안의 짠기가 비친다. 여운에는 밀랍과 소금기가 길게 이어지며 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s one of these Clynelishes that are starting to resemble heavy rum, Caroni-style, or Jamaican. Do they use some dunder (google is your friend) at Clynelish? Actually, the receivers… Anyway, this tarry, petroly side is striking. And much to my liking. Also pinesap, oils, pitch… With water: whoops, all that has gone away and we just have some ‘normal’ Clynelish, which isn’t a bad thing either, is it? Wax and earth plus clay and almonds or putty
restaurant Palate
wham! Thick and very powerful, with even a metallic side, for the first time. Copper coins. Then liquorice and tar lozenges, heavy marmalade, salt… A true beast. With water: absolutely lovely waxy and orangy palate. Smoother, earthier, even somewhat simpler but it keeps delivering
timer Finish
quite long, with some salt this time, especially when diluted
