Tasting Notes
Colour
gold. phew!
air Nose
that very chocolaty and fudge-y sherry can offset the character of even the boldest malts is no secret, and that’s more or less the case here. Fudge, Mars bar, Ovaltine, butterscotch, café latte… You see… With water: as often with G&M, it turns very cloudy, which suggests minimal filtration. Leather, autumn leaves, cigars
restaurant Palate
the sherry treatment makes this little Clynelish almost Highland-Parky, serious. I find this extremely good, just not very idiosyncratic. Rhubarb-jam-filled chocolate. With water: excellent, we’ve just lost distillery character. I’m not the best at detecting distilleries, and sorry if I sound very immodest, but I think I know my Clynelish, and this could come from several other distilleries. But yeah, it’s excellent, so as they say at Donald Trump’s, who cares? Marmalade and zesty fruits
timer Finish
rather long, with a touch of sulphur – good in this context – and leather
