Nose
Very classically Clynelish, starting on bold notes of watch, fruits such as pears, apples, peaches (all kinds of stone fruits actually) and quite some smoke. Something slightly resinous, definitely phenolic. Goes on with notes of plum spirit. The smokiness grows bolder with time, then gets more and more on stone fruits spirit, such as mirabelle and kirsch. Slight hints of marshmallows, strawberry sweets. Very nice woodiness (wet wood, ginger, even ginger tonic).
Palate
Slightly prickly at the attack, with quite some wood and pepper but those flavours mingle with the waxiness after a while, with also hints of paraffin. Gets a little leafy and slightly resinous. The pepper strikes back after a moment, even a little mustard like sometimes with Clynelish - and Brora. A lot of ginger. Interestingly rough, not an old Clynelish de salon.
Finish
Quite long, very waxy again, quite balanced even if always rather on Clynelish's rough side. Fresh almonds and maybe little notes of cooked peaches. Superbly rough Clynelish, a profile not found too often in Scotland these days. Old Highlands style.
