Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하일랜드 브로라 해안의 클라이넬리시는 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감으로 이름이 높다. 리필 셰리 버트에서 22년을 보낸 이 위스키는 깊은 황금빛을 띤다. 향에는 밀랍과 잘 익은 과일, 바다 소금이 그윽하게 피어난다. 54.2도의 입안에서는 꿀과 셰리, 미네랄이 매끄럽게 흐른다. 22년의 여운에는 왁스 같은 질감과 짭조름한 단맛이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
just immaculately evident (what?) Chalk, clay, dough, fresh croissants, lemon skin, earth, seashells, gummed paper. With water: gets a tad muddier. Whiffs of miso too
restaurant Palate
so good, so good… And yet it’s a little different, a tad wackier than the others. Perhaps a little grapefruit squash or something? Canned pomegranate juice? Or are those cranberries? Other than that, some burnt bread, waxes, cinnamon bread… Well it’s the least Clynelishy of all these 1995, but it remains very good when undiluted. With water: fells back in line, but it’s still got a few unusual aspects, such as these notes of pomegranate. Banana cake too?
timer Finish
it’s not impossible that some previous content of that hogshead imparted ‘different’ flavours, but it remains excellent
