Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

put Frank Zappa on the stereo, take apple pie, pour honey over it, add beeswax, add Yquem, add drops of yellow chartreuse, add lemon juice, and this time, please call the anti-maltoporn brigade. With water: oh, no! Mead, precious old sweet wines, forgotten waxes and oils, the rarest flowers (I’m not an expert), and such

restaurant Palate

I’m sorry but this is almost indescribable for it is rather a whole than the sum of several parts. In other words, proper tasting notes here would rather read like ‘Clynelish 1972’. Which, I agree, would not be very useful, but there, I did the best I could. Did you call the anti-maltoporn brigade yet? With water: if you don’t mind, I’ll keep this between this little whisky and me

timer Finish

great whiskies often lose a wee bit of steam at this point, and indeed this fantastic Clynelish gets a tad ‘too’ grassy. More peels than fruits, if you like, but I may be trying to be clever now
