CLYNELISH 13 ans 2010 Foundations Elixir Distillers

$240.00

Rebuilt in 1967 on its original site, the Clynelish distillery is equipped with six stills.

Unusually, the three wash stills (first distillation) are smaller than the three spirit stills (second distillation).

Proudly embodying the “coastal” style characteristic of this renowned single malt from the northern Highlands, this version, with its ever-present minerality, invites us to explore resplendent fruity and floral landscapes.

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Bright gold.

Nose : Rich, powerful. Spicy, salty, and medicinal, the aromatic palette is initially dense and energetic. Upon aeration, earthy and rooty scents flirt with peat. Very quickly, however, it becomes candied (pear, apple, mirabelle plum) and heady (lily, lily of the valley).

Palate : Lively, concentrated. Intensely malty and medicinal (mustard plaster), the flavor profile is also herbaceous (tobacco leaf, cut hay). Aniseed and endowed with a pleasant saline minerality, it then invites us to bite into a firm yet juicy Williams pear.

Finish : Long, full-bodied. Ferment-like (beer wort, flower of beer), the tasting reveals with precision delicious flavors of zucchini flower fritters. Long after, sublime scents of lavender, jasmine, and more mineral notes (slate) escape from the empty glass.
