Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
not extremely different but it’s a little cleaner and smokier at the same time, less yeasty and also more on hot butter and pastry, plus Clynelish’s usual ‘waxiness’. And yes, it’s much smokier, definitely. I liked the ‘Exclusive Malt’ – I like this one even better, for it’s much more ‘Clynelish-esque’
restaurant Palate
hot and spirity, with the sherry adding another layer compared to the ‘Exclusive Malt’. It then calms down a bit, letting some nice notes of dried oranges and wax coming through, as well as, again, cloves and pepper – even chilli and harissa. But it doesn’t get as bitter… Now, it does need a few drops of water otherwise it’s too burning (Tabasco is easier to drink, err…). Let’s go… and while the nose got even smokier… Ah, yes, it got much more enjoyable, with lots of fruits (overripe melons, sugared apples) and quite some Turkish delights, rosewater, oriental pastries… And always these bold way notes. The finish is long, quite bitter again even with lots of water, but like I said, I like bitterness. A very good young Clynelish for big boys. 87 points . Clynelish 17 yo 1987/2005 (55.3%, Signatory, refill butt #990326)
