Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
one of those scarce occasions where Clynelish + sherry not only works but sings. A wonderfully powerful mix of damp earths, teas, waxes, furniture oils and green walnut liqueurs. Also these deeply resinous and salty edges that incorporate the very best old dry Oloroso with abundant rancio and old hessian cloths. With water: green herbal liqueurs, walnut oils, ancient balsamic and tar liqueurs
restaurant Palate
massive! A huge maelstrom of pure tars, hardwood saps, waxes, putty, aniseed, soy sauce and salted liquorice. More stunning old VORS sherry vibes, but here you could be adding Palo Cortado and Amontillado to the mix too. Deeply sappy, warming, spicy and salty. With water: some kind of aniseed cordial with huge notes of Irish Coffee liqueur, more tar resins and fir woods, camphor, waxes, the very best Iberico ham and salted almonds
timer Finish
long, very long in fact, tarry, waxy, deeply herbal and still riddled with these many impressions of pristinely salty and rancio-driven old sherries
