Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 안에서 윤기 있게 빛난다. 1983년 하이랜드의 클라인리시를 22년 길러낸 이 보틀링은 증류소를 상징하는 왁스 같은 질감을 또렷이 드러낸다. 코끝에는 밀랍과 잘 익은 오렌지, 옅은 바다 기운이 어우러지고 입에서는 꿀과 시트러스, 미네랄의 풍미가 매끄럽게 흐른다. 54.7도의 기운이 받치는 여운에는 왁스와 짭조름한 미네랄이 또렷하고 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes

straw
air Nose
while we’re clearly in the same family, these 1983s always had more citrus skin, making for a nice bridge between the ueberfruity early 1970s and the more mineral 1990s. This baby’s also got more flowers (dandelions) and a sweeter kind of wax, while many tinier aromas need a little more time to show up. Brine, antiseptic… What’s sure is that the end result is pretty perfect, as expected. We’re approaching old Laphroaig and Ardbeg, in a way. With water (while it turns very cloudy): all waxes of the creation
restaurant Palate
loud applause. It’s zestier this time, sharp, with massive oomph, plenty of lemon, salt, waxes, salt, cough syrup and grapefruit juice. I find this just perfect and pretty unbeatable. Some fudge too. With water: the almondy, putty-like side comes out, together with more rounded citrus. Mattei’s Corsican citron liqueur (whatever!)
timer Finish
rather long, appropriately waxy and citrusy. The aftertaste’s a little bitterer, though. Rubbery smoky mint
