do you know Rudolph Lindt? Did you know he was the manager at Clynelish around 1996? Only half joking, this is as chocolaty as whisky can be. We’re not talking oloroso-ed dark chocolate, we’re talking Lindt’s milk chocolate, creamy, buttery, soft, and rather nutty/vanilled. I’m not a huge fan of sherried Clynelish, but I have to say these refill casks can make wonders. Very nice touches of gunpowder, dried mushrooms, and tobacco. So far so nice. With water: great. Mushrooms and ev’rything that comes with them. You know, pine needles, earth, mud, moss, parsley… Yes, parsley!
restaurant Palate
wow, excellent! Some parts remind me of the old 1965s and 1966s by Cadenhead for Italy, with this stony, gamy, and leathery style. Perfect bitter oranges in the background, and always this salty touch. And rocks, stones, and gravel. Impressed. With water: yess. Tobacco, earthy pu-erh tea, bitter oranges, and a touch of ginger and Campari
timer Finish
perfect, long, with more pepper and ginger, perhaps two raisins, and always this waxy smoke. Very mentholy retro-olfaction, which is cool. Toothpaste ;-)
