Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 호그스헤드에서 32년을 보낸 클라이넬리시 1974가 하이랜드 코스트 위스키 특유의 왁스 같은 보디감과 옅은 미네랄 톤을 또렷이 머금는다. 향에서는 따스한 왁스와 꿀, 마른 풀이 차례로 일어서고, 버번 우드의 깔끔한 바닐라 슈가가 그 사이로 비친다. 입에서는 캐러멜라이즈드 시트러스와 시나몬, 옅은 후추가 58.6도에 실려 입천장을 묵직하게 채운다. 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 잠겨 있고, 마른 왁스와 미네랄의 잔향이 길고 깊게 이어진다.
AITasting 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 .
