The sweet fruit and vanilla have a useful counterweight in the salt and raw ginger. That gives this Clynelish more shape than sweetness alone. The nose’s waxy, lightly floral notes add another layer, while the finish brings citrus and drying oak. I like that balance of fruit and spice. It sounds rounded, but the pepper and ginger keep it from seeming purely soft or dessert-like. The 24-year age statement is notable, though the appeal here is the contrast in its character.

The long finish sounds like the strongest part here: sweet citrus and oaky spice taper into a drying oak note, with mild pepper and ginger. That balance of sweetness and oak gives this Clynelish a calm, appealing shape.
