Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드 캐스크에서 1972년부터 32년을 머문 시간이 클라이넬리시의 시그니처인 옅은 왁스 향을 가장 깊은 자리에 새겨 놓았다. 향에서는 밀랍, 시트러스 껍질, 익은 사과가 차례로 풍긴다. 입안에서는 49.9도의 도수 안에 꿀과 견과류, 가벼운 후추가 균형을 이룬다. 옅은 황금빛 잔에서 길게 늘어지는 마무리가 잔잔히 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
boldly sherried, on heavy rum notes and raisins. Lots of chocolate, candy sugar and soy sauce. Quite complex and rather satisfying, a perfect, flawless sherried nose
restaurant Palate
hyper sherry, again on rum, raisins and chocolate. And no sourish notes this time. Too bad it gets then a bit too tannic, with also some hints of aspirin and clove. The finish is long, but mainly on burnt coffee... ... Not a ‘naked’ Glenfiddich, that’s for sure, but I guess it’s sexy enough for the most dedicated sherry freaks. As for the other malt heads, maybe they’d better wait for the Playboy Germany 'Play Malt 1974' edition - I can't wait to see the bottle and the label ;-) 87 points .
