Tasting Notes
Colour
dark amber. So, sherry
air Nose
take an old tin box, preferably a rusty one. Fill with used engine oil (ex-good old 8 or 12-cylindre would be perfect). Throw a handful of old copper coins. Add a little grated chocolate (avoid crappy vegetal oil). Heat up and then pour some quality shoe polish. Throw in five stock cubes. Stir. Add parsley and sage. Add lamp oil. Add linseed oil. Add half a glass of walnut wine. Add sunbath oil. Pour drops of pitch and one spoonful of lard. Mix and nose. Aaaahhhh
restaurant Palate
immense and powerful. Zeussian, I'd say. Thick, heavy, very oily, extremely tertiary, we're in old wine territories, telling you about what's not in this whisky would be faster. All nuts, all waxes, all dried citrus, all saps and oils, all tobaccos, teas and leathers, all spices, all minerals, all things briny (it's very coastal and salty)... It simply is meta-malt whisky. The Beethoven of whisky. What are you doing? All right, I think I'll call the anti-maltoporn brigade myself
timer Finish
oh drat, I had thought I could go to 99 points for the very first time, but there, in the finish, there is a very discreet, almost unnoticeable touch of something that's slightly too sour and 'sweaty'. I couldn't tell you what this is. Other than that, this old Clynelish is another utter masterpiece made in Brora, Sutherland, Scotland. I've never encountered any other spirit that could beat this, only a worthy handful of equals. As always, in my humble opinion, but after 10,000 whiskies, I think I may start to have the vaguest idea of the landscape
