Nose
Wet grass, fresh earth, peat. Palate
Deliciously smooth. Syrupy without being cloying. Malty. Then developing peaty flavours. Grassy dunes on a rainy day. Finish
Cress. Warming mustard. Comment
A robust, straight-ahead Clynelish, which is a great thing.
Dave Broom
Nose
Another big one, this time with lots of pipe smoke, apricot, wax, pine needles. Elegant with light smoke in the background. Palate
Big silky/waxy texture, peaches and beeswax with a peaty lift. A beauty. Finish
Long and complex. Comment
The 12 Years Old is good but this has another layer of complexity.
