Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
클라이넬리시의 1971 빈티지를 버번 캐스크에서 36년 숙성한 머레이 맥데이비드 미션 시리즈. 노즈에서는 클라이넬리시 특유의 밀랍과 트로피컬 과실, 마른 풀이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 51.5도에서 망고와 파인애플, 헤이즐넛으로 발전하며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 밀랍과 가벼운 오크 향신료가 길게 이어진다. 옛 브로라 부지에서 만든 1세대 클라이넬리시의 황금 캐릭터.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
oooh (Angus says yeah). Pure wax, beach pebbles, chalk, paraffin, daisies, struck flints (smoke), almost like a chenin. It does have an Old Clynelish character, although the whole is rather mellower. What we don’t find, and which was in, for instance, the 1972s, are the tropical fruits. This one’s straighter, with a blade-like quality. With water: more citrus, lemon peel, preserved lemons, and seawater. Limestone and of course, wax
restaurant Palate
extremely intense, it’s very Clynelish, textural, fatty, with loads of camphor, hessian, earth and floor, and a white fruit side, perhaps litchis. Touches of Szechuan pepper over a gravely character. Powerful minerality. Amazing whiskies… With water: if you could mix olive oil, wax, and lemon juice. Pure distillate character (Angus says it’s almost Scottish grappa). Emmanuel says it’s not whisky for just anyone, at least not a whisky for beginners. Let’s say it’s not totally consensual
timer Finish
long, fat, waxy, with a little pepper and orange peel. Some hay as well
