Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 1972년산 클라이넬리시 특유의 옅은 황금빛이 잔 안에서 매끈하게 출렁인다. 코를 가져가면 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 왁시 텍스처가 가장 먼저 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 클라이넬리시 시그니처 비즈왁스와 시트러스, 옅은 꿀이 혀 위에서 천천히 풀린다. 57.75 도수가 만든 묵직한 무게가 입을 가득 채운다. 삼킨 뒤에는 왁스와 백후추가 길게 따라간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite punchy, even a little aggressive. I does not start on the usual waxy/fruity notes but rather on Swiss cheese (fresh gruyere) and herbal/grassy notes (fern, lettuce). Some bold notes of mashed potatoes, soy sauce, Maggi, gravy... Develops on cider, English bitter beer (not the bitter one), wine sauce, cooked fresh cream. Some notes of apple juice but other than that, very little fruit (perhaps some coconut juice). A profile that’s very unusual for a 1971 Clynelish but I like it a lot
restaurant Palate
quite sharp! Rather salty, herbal, peppery… Again, very ‘different’. Notes of strong coffee (ristretto), dried parsley, Japanese green tea (the one they use to spice up dishes), sweet pepper, burnt caramel… A little austere, I must say. Gets quite woody and tannic, drying but not too much. Long, slightly bitter finish, on strong tea and liquorice roots. A different early ‘new’ Clynelish, worth trying, definitely. 88 points . Clynelish 1972/2000 (57.3%, Celtic Legends, cask #14265)
