Achtung, offene Flasche!
Eine offene Flasche fantastischen Clynelishs aus meiner privaten Sammlung.
Von vielen Tastings habe ich noch ganz viele Flaschen offen und stelle von nun an einige mit gutem Füllstand hier ein.
Dies ist ein extrem leckerer Clynelish aus dem Single Cask 700039, gebrannt am 29.01.2010.
Der bekannte Whisky-Verkoster Serge von whiskyfun meint folgendes zu dieser Flasche:
Clynelish 9 yo 2010/2019 (55.7%, The Single Malts of Scotland, cask #700039, 176 bottles)
Colour: white wine (so darker than its sister cask) Nose: this makes you understand why with young whiskies, some pretty active casks may work better. Indeed this has more depth, more earthy spices, and even more wax, which comes strange as the make is obviously rigorously the same. On the other hand, it’s got a fewer fruits and, above all, less killing pears. With water: some fresh baguette at 6 in the morning, some fir honeydew, and touches of thyme and tarragon. I’m sure you could prepare some marvellous sauce béarnaise with this drop. Who’s going to try that? Mouth (neat): exactly the same feelings, this has more depth, more lemon, more vivacity, more wax, more brine, and simply more clynelishness. With water: indeed! Grass, green oak, wax, paraffin, chalk, lemon zests, pomelos… Feels older than just 9. Finish: long, with some pepper, a little spearmint, the usual wax, the expected seawater, and just loads of gentler lemons and grapefruits. Comments: I’m extremely glad I could try these two together. Compare and contrast, or is that the other way ‘round? SGP:562 – 89 points.
Das hört sich doch super an oder?! Wer also für vermutlich sehr wenig Geld einen tollen Whisky in seine Bar stellen möchte, sollte hier zuschlagen.
