Clynelish
Scotland
Single Malt
A coastal and peaty single malt, the flagship expression from Clynelish boasts a fabulous flavour profile filled with its distinctive waxy notes. Clynelish is the successor to Brora which closed in 1983, which it is built opposite. A well rounded Highlander, though this expression is a bit less peaty than the Brora bottlings of yore.
Zesty, mandarin, tangerine. Smoky.
Quite light, great clarity. Orange, soft acidity. Dry oak. Mixed fruits, vanilla, leather.
Quite long, bitter sweetness developing, spicy oak.
A good dram overall. I find it rather inoffensive. All rather pleasant. The nose has a strong alcohol hit with hints of orange. This quickly develops into a pleasant waxiness. Coating the mouth is coastal saltiness, which entinces the drinker to have one more sip! The old rubbing a splash on the palm of your hand trick reveals next to no scent and I can understand why this is used as the base for Johnny Walker's blends. I do think this is a malt that lends itself to small splash of water to open up the flavours, which leads to a warm creaminess on the palate. Definitely value for money at £37.
One of the best 14 year old whiskies one can buy. At a very reasonable price as well.
Been eyeing this for a while and finally decided to grab it. Needs a little water to cut the bite (seems younger than it is) but you get a really pronounced coconut in the finish when you do this. Pretty good overall but the finish is the best part.
I cannot believe I've waited so long to try this whisky. It has perfect balance and mouthfeel. Waxed leather, orange peel and sugary orange butter cake, soaked with cinnamon and scotch! An absolute MUST try for all whisky lovers. Absolutely sublime smoke. How on earth can they use this for blends when it is so perfect on its own??
Very enjoyable.
