Flavor Profile
Tasting 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
