Tasting Notes

Martine Nouet Nose Medicinal, peaty. Camphor. Seaweed drying in the sun. Absolutely marine. Exotic touch of pineapple. Palate Oily. Sweet. Well-balanced. Sea salt. Barley. Finish Neither pronounced nor lingering. Comment There’s more in the nose than in the finish. A really characterful malt. Interesting. This is one of the more medicinal expressions of Clynelish I have come across.

Dave Broom Nose Some fragrance with melon/orange. With water it smells like a lumber yard. Palate Thick and sweet with good concentration, a little smoke, waxiness. The wood starts to tighten becoming increasingly aggressive and tannic. Finish Very long and perfumed as if the whisky has finally escaped the oaky grip. Comment It’s just too old and struggles to fight its way out of the wood.
