Nose: Peachy with tropical and dried fruit, vanilla, orange peel, and toffee.
Palate: Very spicy, cardamon, and chilli pepper. Aromatic, creamy texture and sweet toffee notes, red fruit. Sweet rum and walnut notes point to lots of sherry cask influence.
Finish: Creamy, nutty – walnuts and almonds.
Overall: Big, punchy sweet Clynelish. If you only know the distillery from the classic 14 year old then you’ll be in for a surprise. Not much of the waxiness showing.
