Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라인리시 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감과 함께 셰리 버트가 더한 건과일, 오렌지의 향이 또렷하게 드러난다. 1995년 증류된 23년의 시간이 향의 층을 정교하게 쌓는다. 입에서는 꿀과 구운 견과, 가벼운 가죽이 54.5도의 도수를 타고 발전하며 특유의 오일리한 질감이 입을 채운다. 균형이 단단하고 복합적이며, 피니시는 옅은 소금기와 향신료, 오크의 쌉쌀함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
am I mollifying? This is the third rather very sherried Clynelish that I enjoy on the nose. Maybe that’s because I’m about to fly to Jerez again, where I’ll try to just plunder the best houses? (again). In this case, I’m finding the obligatory walnuts and cigar box, rather more pinesap and camphor, and rather more earth, mosses, dead leaves, and just mushrooms. I’m a fan of mushrooms, I was even about to launch mushroomfun.com, but I’m afraid some tactless Chinese friends would have stolen that name too. Or Mexicans ;-). With water: umami in full swing. I suppose you could pour this over sushi – or Belgian shrimp croquettes
restaurant Palate
that’s it, I quit, I give up, proven wrong for the third time within just a few minutes! Now this one’s leafier, a little harsher, much less toffeelike, and rather more on sour teas, rosehip or hawthorn… And leather and soy sauce. With water: copper, pipe tobacco, fino, walnuts, crème de menthe, roasted chestnuts, walnut wine, lemon juice… There’s just nothing not to like about this palate
timer Finish
rather long, on the same flavours, with a mentholy signature that reminds me of good thin mints (not the industrial ones that are ridden with sugar)
