A wonderful 14 year old Clynelish, distilled in 1997 and bottled at natural cask strength by Adelphi...
Grassy, mineral and austere at full strength, at least at first sniffs. Wet rocks, tree bark, orange peel, pepper, graphite oil, cut grass and thyme.
Smashing freshness despite a huge body, with bags of wax, bitter oranges, pepper, mustard, roots, lemongrass and liquorice wood.
A long finish, with more brine, lemon and, well, Riesling.
A splendid Clynelish that both typifies and exceeds what we have come to expect from this distillery.
