Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리 부트에서 16년을 보낸 숙성이 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁스 같은 질감 위에 짙은 단맛을 입힌다. 1996년 증류된 이 스웨덴 독립 병입은 향에서 말린 과일과 오렌지 껍질, 옅은 유황의 그을림을 함께 풀어낸다. 57.2도의 힘찬 도수 아래 입에서는 밀랍과 건포도, 흑설탕의 풍미가 단단하게 맞물린다. 짙은 호박빛 잔 끝으로 셰리와 미네랄의 짭조름한 여운이 길게 남으며 클라이넬리시의 개성을 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s one of these Clynelishes that are starting to resemble heavy rum, Caroni-style, or Jamaican. Do they use some dunder (google is your friend) at Clynelish? Actually, the receivers… Anyway, this tarry, petroly side is striking. And much to my liking. Also pinesap, oils, pitch… With water: whoops, all that has gone away and we just have some ‘normal’ Clynelish, which isn’t a bad thing either, is it? Wax and earth plus clay and almonds or putty
restaurant Palate
wham! Thick and very powerful, with even a metallic side, for the first time. Copper coins. Then liquorice and tar lozenges, heavy marmalade, salt… A true beast. With water: absolutely lovely waxy and orangy palate. Smoother, earthier, even somewhat simpler but it keeps delivering
timer Finish
quite long, with some salt this time, especially when diluted
