85
- 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.
82
- 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.
