Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
붉은 기운이 도는 황금빛이 잔 안에서 깊은 윤기를 머금는다. 밀랍 같은 질감으로 사랑받는 클라이넬리시를 셰리 버트에서 24년 길러낸 이 위스키는 특유의 기름진 결에 셰리의 단맛이 더해졌다. 향에는 건포도와 잘 익은 과일 뒤로 밀랍과 옅은 소금기가 비치고, 49.6도의 한 모금은 말린 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 향신료로 입안을 감싼다. 클라이넬리시 특유의 매끄럽고 기름진 촉감이 셰리를 받치며, 여운에는 과일의 단맛과 밀랍의 결이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber. Sometimes you think someone should invent a way of solidifying whisky to create beautiful gemstones…
air Nose
some sweeter North-African dish, with raisins, couscous, dates and apricots. A tajine or something. Light earth, a little mint and a little tea (in the Sahara)? A pack of cigarettes. The Clynelishness is less obvious, but that’s the sherry, not the first time that happens. I’m even finding wee touches of grilled mutton – don’t I need vacations, doc?
restaurant Palate
ah, balance, it’s balanced! Clynelish is a big distillate, so sherry shouldn’t bother it too much ‘in theory’, but in my experience, uncontrolled sherrywood – let alone whacky wine casks - would trip many great spirits up. This very one tends to become rather dry and drying, but some unexpected saltiness and all these bouillony notes that just abound here conjugate well. Bovril, Viandox, Maggi, paraffin, bitter oranges, macadamia nuts, a little leather, quite a lot raw black tea… Which gives me an idea, since black tea is meant to burn belly fat… shh…
timer Finish
rather long, but shh…
