Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a little hotter, a little more spirity, but otherwise quite similar, with maybe even more smoke (matchsticks) but the sherry isn’t too clean after that and gives the whole a little too much vinosity. Quite some cooked strawberries and hints of kirsch. Still quite nice but maybe it lacks the Signatory’s cleanliness. Also a little yeastier
restaurant Palate
now there’s more happening than in the Signatory. It’s hugely kirschy, really resembling fruit spirit now, with little wood influence but quite some strawberry liqueur along the kirsch, triple-sec or other kinds of orange liqueurs… Very faint notes of rubber
timer Finish
a tad longer than the Signatory’s, also spicier and even a little tannic, pleasantly so… But we’re in the same category regarding my global feelings: 82 points. Clynelish 17yo 1990/2007 (46%, Alambic Classique, cask #51135)
