Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 밀랍과 졸인 건자두, 옅은 소금기가 먼저 두드러진다. 퍼스트필 셰리 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 클라이넬리시답게 특유의 왁스 같은 질감과 셰리가 어우러진다. 팰럿에서는 꿀과 말린 과일, 가벼운 향신료가 45.5도의 균형으로 발전한다. 해안 증류소다운 짭짤함이 단정하며, 피니시는 밀랍과 마른 오크가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Light gold
air Nose
It’s a slightly more austere one at first approach. There’s a rather brittle mineralic aspect with damp hay, soot and coal dust but this quickly moves into fairly classical and very pleasing territories such as soft waxes, beach pebbles, bay leaf and a little wet earth. Little bunches of white flowers and linen. Somewhat straight forward but relatively uncompromising in style
restaurant Palate
A nice assortment of waxes, white pepper, a little green fruit, some camphor, gooseberry jam, pine resin, gorse. It’s not the most sensational Clynelish but it is loyal and exemplary of the distillery character. Would be a perfect alternative to the official 14 year old. Perhaps some cold tea, sorrel and olive oil after a while
timer Finish
Medium with a nicely sooty, lemony and waxy aftertaste
