Colour: pale white wine. Nose: Textbook Clynelish from the late 1990s,
rather sweeter and rounder than the previous ones. That translates into
more fresh fruits, mostly oranges and even touches of pineapples, but of
course the waxy notes are well there in the background, together with a
little black pepper, grass and a few cls of brine. The fruitiness adds
dimension I must say. With water: wet wool and dogs come out (I'm sorry,
dogs). Also fudge, caramel. Mouth (neat): it's big, very waxy and,
above all, very zesty and salty. White tequila and lemon, or maybe
rather Schweppes? Touches of wasabi as well, chillies, earthy tea,
roots… Excellent. With water: becomes rounder, with a little honey now.
Honeydew. Finish: long and zesty, very 'Clynelish'. Comments: it's the
make we like.
