Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
rather powerful, starting on bold notes of rubber and hot ham. It seems to be much more phenolic than usual but that may well come from the sherry. Quite some caramel, gravy, balsamic vinegar, grilled beef… A whole BBQ! Hints of fir honey, breadcrumb, smoked tea… Rather unusual but getting more classical after a few minutes, with quite some toffee, Kahlua, torrefaction… It doesn’t stop improving, getting cleaner and cleaner and much more ‘caky’ - and expectedly waxy. Hints of coal smoke
restaurant Palate
a powerful and extremely toffeeish attack, creamy and nervous at the same time. Lots of candy sugar, maple syrup, notes of Pedro Ximenez, dried bananas and figs… Lots of sherry but also a certain saltiness… Lots of liquorice as well. Hugely concentrated in fact, almost like some liquid sweets for big boys. The finish is long, coating, thick, very toffeeish and with again lots of salt. Well, the sherry really dominates the malt here but the result is very far from being unpleasant, quite the opposite. 87 points . Clynelish 32 yo 1974/2006 (58.6%, The Whisky Fair, bourbon hogshead, 266 bottles )
