Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 28년을 보낸 오랜 숙성이 이 클라이넬리시에 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감을 곱게 다졌다. 1982년 빈티지를 스페셜리티 드링크스가 담은 이 보틀링은 코끝에 밀랍과 꿀, 잘 익은 배 향을 천천히 펼친다. 43.1도의 도수가 입안에서 시트러스와 보리 단맛, 옅은 소금기를 잔잔히 풀어놓고 클라이넬리시다운 기름진 결이 흐름을 받친다. 짙은 황금빛 잔 너머로 밀랍과 과일의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

air Nose
it’s the Clynelish I love, I guess they invented the expression ‘waxing lyrical’ for these Clynelishes. The mix of beeswax and candle wax is just staggering here. I’m so happy those great vintages are reaching the perfect ages these days. Okay, I know that’s all pointless babbling but frankly, this nose is simply perfect (Clynelish lovers ahoy!)
restaurant Palate
this isn’t whisky, it’s wine. I mean, it’s organoleptically close to some great Puligny, Riesling or to the best chenins, really. The problem is that it’s just as quaffable, which could lead to dangerous behaviours. I guess that’s why the bureaucrats invented alcohol units (are you done with your erratic babblings yet, S.?)
timer Finish
let’s be honest, it’s not the longest Clynelish ever, and it tends to drop a bit, maybe because of the low strength. Having said that, better short and superb, right?
