a clynelish from a bottler

Nose

old plum, then vanilla and sugar
a few herbs, just after the harvest
some wax after a while, want to eat it

Taste

grassy at wish
alcohol comes in suddenly
there is glue, encaustic just put on a piece of furniture
a bit bourbonneux with strong vanilla and sweet caramel
undifferentiated fruits, but on white fruit

Finish

creamy, wax, herbs that last in the glass, not frankly, but steadily!
a little grilled pear

Compared the following casks, all distilled in 1996, all bottled by BB all cask strenght:

Cask:

6421 17 yo 92 points

6422, 17 yo 92 points

6423, 19 yo 86 points

This one clearly is one dimentional compared to its siblings. Less fruity, less development, bittery and slightly acid in the finish. Otherwise, not much happening. It does not seem to open up a lot in the glass, not even after leaving it for 30 min. A good quality dram, but dissapointing compared to the other two.
