Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
bright straw
air Nose
sweet with a delicate waxiness and some saltier and more umami tones which feel like they emanate from the sherry. I find it perfectly fine, although a lighter take on Clynelish, so rather a Clynelish that is cosplaying as an Inchgower perhaps? With water: lighter, grassier, more citric and a little more to do with raw ingredient aromas such as cereals and wort. Also a little more classically waxy which is good
restaurant Palate
jellybeans, pineapple, background waxes, yellow flowers, green fruits. Rather a good amount of 'stuff' happening, and these various sherried components are reasonably well integrated and not at all distracting. I suppose the only thing I'd say is it feels like the Clynelish DNA has been slightly dialed down. With water: putty, white pepper, more slightly pineapple-flavoured sweetness but also more Clynelish wax and fatness on display, as on the reduced nose
timer Finish
medium, a little too peppery and oak-spiced for me now, but some nicely waxy and grassy aspects too. Some teas and biscuity notes as well
