Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
fresh, clean and very fruity. Lots of ripe melon and pear juice, pear drops, ripe kiwi. Very youthful. It gets also a little yeasty, slightly sour in a nice way (mashed potatoes with a good deal of butter). Also some notes of apple skin, fern… And some sea air as well. Very nice, rather complex and totally flawless
restaurant Palate
a nice and very nervous attack, but perhaps a bit too bitter and woody this time. Quite tannic, in fact. It gets also very vegetal (‘roquette’ salad, the one they serve with the beef carpaccio), with some strong notes of over infused tea, gin, crystallised ginger (lots). Very strong and almost biting after a moment. A little weird, I must say, although it probably is ‘a profile’. Kind of a metallic taste, at that. The finish is rather long but there’s something strange growing, like a taste of aluminium. Yet, it’s not a lightweight malt at all. The nose was great but the mouth is a little flawed I think. 77 points Clynelish 14 yo 1990 (43%, Jean Boyer Best Cask, ‘small barrel’) These small barrels were made out of American oak
