Color

Pale straw

Nose

Delicate and sweet.  Wet cardboard.  Dusty maltings floor. Old lime peels.  New leather.  Young spirit.  Wood shop.

Taste

Again, delicate.  Very light, and devoid of any dominating flavors. Slightly sweet with sour green apples and quince jelly.  Some grassy notes with a backbone of oak.

Finish

Medium, with black peppercorns.  Mixed fruit salad.  Vanilla for the first time.

Comments

Not the best Clynelish.  Too light in body and flavor.

Color

Pale gold

Nose

Starts a bit musty and mossy, hiding the usual Clynelish vibrance. Leather notes. With some water it seems to find its character, with apple peelings and a little paraffin. Still not the freshest Clynelish.

Taste

Sweeter and fruitier now, with very nice pear drops, oranges and almond notes. No obvious waxy notes on the palate. Quite some leather again, a hint of rounded oak and very soft spices. Not very different after adding some water.

Finish

Medium long, quite fruity. Faint grassy notes as well.

Comments

Not the most typical Clynelish in my book, but decent drinking whisky nonetheless.
