Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
get out of here, this is purely limestone-y Clynelish, with the greenest lime and the rawest gooseberries and rhubarbs thrown in, together with something like grated propolis or even Play-Doh, then rather cantaloupes. This is pure Clynelish, just not utterly complex this far, which is normal at 9. With water: more malt bread, oriental brioche, porridge… I wouldn’t call it ‘Mr Waxy’ yet
restaurant Palate
really very sharp, close to the driest martinis (last time I had some in Glasgow it was only gin with one single olive, if I remember well). Green, acidic, blade-y, sauvignony, rough… With water: I think we managed to tame it, but it remained pretty green and sharp, with a tiny petroly side. No big wax, though
timer Finish
long, raw, green, porridge-y. Bitter grapefruits in the aftertaste
