Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 하이랜드 클라이넬리쉬의 짙은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 타고 기름지게 흘러내린다. 코를 가까이 대면 세컨드필 셰리 캐스크가 더한 마른 과일 위로 이 증류소 특유의 밀랍과 시트러스 향이 솟아오른다. 53.3도의 한 모금을 머금으면 23년 숙성이 빚은 왁스 같은 질감 위로 꿀과 오렌지, 옅은 향신료가 혀를 감싼다. 삼키고 나면 클라이넬리쉬 특유의 기름진 촉감이 입천장에 들러붙어 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
much love for this. It's a slightly shier one, but it's showing elegance and distinction, with some fresh bark, sunflower oil, those softer waxes, candles, plaster and chalk, apples, then mirabelles and quinces… With water: a delicate earthiness and even a few ashes, perhaps coal. A little fresh coriander, and always these waxes. A nose to marry (why would you marry only a nose, S.?)
restaurant Palate
ueber-class Clynelish, everything being exactly right here. Citrus, apple peel, beeswax and honeycomb, acacia blossom, quince, not-too-ripe mirabelles, plus just a faint saltiness, nothing dominant. Shh, much respect… With water: more towards citrus, which is brilliant. I was about to mention kumquats but my Dutch friends seem to be firmly against that. So, say yuzu and bergamot
timer Finish
the chalk is back, with some lemon and a little cold earl grey tea. Wax in the aftertaste, as is customary
