Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 해안 브로라에 자리한 클라이넬리시는 왁스 같은 질감으로 사랑받는데, 35년을 보낸 이 1990 빈티지는 그 개성이 시간 속에 한층 정교해진 모습이다. 버번 배럴의 옅은 황금빛 아래로, 코에는 밀랍과 잘 익은 배, 바닷바람의 미네랄이 섬세하게 오른다. 42.7도의 낮은 도수가 입안을 비단처럼 감싸며 꿀과 시트러스, 왁시한 결을 풀어놓는다. 오랜 여운은 양초와 마른 풀, 옅은 소금기가 길고 우아하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw, very pale for its age
air Nose
magical fruitiness, lavender honey, honeysuckle and acacia blossoms, perhaps even elderflower, gentle furniture polish, a rather restrained wax, multifloral pollen, a few hints of delicately minty custard, a touch of camphor, whiffs of balsa wood, and vanilla fudge… What more could the people want? One only hopes the palate won’t lack a little oomph…
restaurant Palate
all is well, it's remained lively and zesty like a dace, and even the wood spice, though more pronounced on the palate, knows how to behave. There are beeswaxes of various ages (both light and darker, thus more marked by honey and pollen), overripe apple, fairly evident salted butter caramel, then more beeriness, hops, and even—how curious—malt. Beautiful citrus, though it does tire just a wee bit right at the end, but that was to be expected…
timer Finish
medium in length, miraculously fresh, this time with propolis and citrus peel, plus a tiny saline touch in the aftertaste. Slight hint of dry curry right at the very end, and it’s only there that it gently bows its head
