Nose
A harmonious blend of citrus fruits and a subtle waxy texture, characteristic of Clynelish's signature style. Intensely heavy notes of engine oil and a new bicycle chain mingle with juicy crabapple cordial. Clean pine needles on a damp forest floor float in, followed by flaky icing on a pear-compote-filled cupcake and the crisp aroma of new schoolbooks.
Palate
The marriage of casks imparts a balanced profile, with the fruit-forward citrus notes complemented by the depth and complexity from the sherry cask influence. Acidic, but not citrusy – more akin to gooseberries. Spicy jalapenos, drizzled with olive oil and mini pickles soaked in dill and brine. Next, some stacked firewood and smoked paprika, followed by the creamy sweetness of custard tarts.
Finish
Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of fruit and a touch of spice. The refreshing hit of an effervescent orange vitamin drink, menthol cough drops and Bullseye boiled sweets. A sprinkle of lemon rind lingers with a rum-soaked canelé.
