Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 무려 35년을 보낸 시간이 1972년 클라인리시 원액의 전설적인 왁스 질감을 한껏 끌어올렸다. 향에서는 밀랍과 레몬 커드, 옅은 해풍의 미네랄이 어우러진다. 53.7도의 한 모금은 기름진 왁스와 감귤, 짭조름한 소금기가 매끄럽게 흐른다. 2005년 병입된 이 보틀링은 옅은 황금빛을 띠며, 끝맛에서 촛농 같은 질감과 향신료의 여운이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
powerful and idiosyncratic, albeit a tad less waxy and mineral than usual it seems. Rather ‘green’, very grassy and very austere, and no fruits that I can smell. This one does not try to entice you – at least not when naked (will you stop it!) With water: more ‘Clynelish’ but still quite austere. Rubbed orange peel, hay, wet stones, beeswax. Very pleasant young Clynelish on the nose
restaurant Palate
(neat): powerful, starting on coffee (which often happens with high-strength whiskies I think) and much more fruit than on the nose (when neat). A little burning and a tad rubbery as well, but that’s probably the alcohol. With water: it’s the best part it seems. Still quite grassy but better balanced, waxy, fruity, spicy and resinous
timer Finish
rather long, in the same vein but also with a little salt on the tongue
