Maybe not quintessential Clynelish, but certainly recognisable enough. And most importantly, delicious.
Nose
Quite sweet but not without its waxiness, albeit slightly dialled down. Pollen, beeswax and notes of wet pebbles, but also a touch of butter. Then some jammy apricots, lemon verbena and other juicy fruits. Even some pineapple, but also green banana peel.
Taste
Thick and reasonably waxy mouthfeel. Honey, beeswax and a good pinch of white pepper. Also mineral oils and butterscotch with just a touch of fresh oak. Not the most coastal Clynelish ever, but satisfying.
Finish
Medium length. Pepper, a sliver of mint and oily with sugary malt. Even something (very slightly) herbacious.
