Nose
Sweet grass. Lightly peppery/mustardy. Palate
Creamy maltiness. Big flavours. Peaty. Seaweedy-fruity. Finish
A fresh, mustardy attack. Some salt, too. Comment
The most rounded of this Clynelish threesome. The fuller gold colour suggests more contribution from the wood.
Jim Murray
Nose
Excellent complexity with diced carrots adding to the earthy, salady aroma. Some sweetness but drier than usual. Palate
Fruity, grapey and beautifully mouthwatering: quite different from the nose. Brilliant sub-strata of peat runs throughout and adds a luscious sweetness to compliment the sultanas and spice. Finish
Smoky and dries rapidly to allow in a cocoa effect. Comment
A disarming malt that exudes sheer class.
