Tasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
interesting that the focus here is on the distillate rather than the casks, that makes a change. That said, there’s a slight impression that the process has sent the spirit back in time, in other words made it feel younger. One can’t help but think of the effect of a third distillation, with something slightly Irish about it, or at the very least Lowlands-esque. It’s pretty, on white peach and green melon, but the Clynelish character hasn’t been entirely wiped out, thank goodness. With water: hints of damp chalk, sauvignon blanc, acacia honey…
restaurant Palate
lovely, very fruity indeed, lemony, fresh, tight, brings to mind a similarly aged Rosebank. The waxy side is still there but extremely faint. With water: the sauvignon blanc returns, along with golden apple, a touch of honey, pink grapefruit—add some bubbles and you’re almost in champagne territory. Wax present, though rather ephemeral
timer Finish
not very long, but fresh and fruity, even more ‘Lowlands’. Increasingly clear notes of papaya
