Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
whauw, as the Belgians sometimes say. This one is a typical fresh, zesty, zingy and very assertive Clynelish that keeps developing for a long time. Rocks, candle wax and green apples but then rather melons and peaches, with a great earthy background. Wet fresh wood. State of the art middle-aged Clynelish so far. With water: gets narrower but beautifully so. Some fresh mint now, dill, high-end dry cider… Also a little damp chalk
restaurant Palate
purrrfekt. Perfect fruits, perfect waxiness, faintly resinous, lively, and way too quaffable, to the point where it’s hard to take notes before your glass is empty. Next time I’ll need 50cl! And I love these wee touches of Campari, or bitters. With water: just like on the nose, it gets narrower and kind of sharper. More black pepper. Still great
timer Finish
long and grassier, maybe a tad drying now but it’s still great. Quite some peat?
