Tasting Notes by Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin) Clynelish 35 yo 1972/2008 (53.7%, The Single Malts of Scotland, cask #12651, 273 bottles) From a hogshead. We loved a sister cask bottled last year (91) so we have deep hopes here. Colour: pale gold. Nose: yes. The expected winning combo of beeswax and dried/fresh fruits. Ripe pears, plums, blood oranges (really, and there are loads of them)… And more blood oranges and pink grapefruits. Orange squash. Hints of nutmeg and ginger as well (and ginger tonic), most probably from the wood. With water: even fruitier. Orange blossom water and strawberry jam. Lychee liqueur and fresh mint. Almost extravagant. Mouth (neat): an avalanche of fruity and waxy notes. At random: oranges (just any kind), grapefruits (ditto), quinces, dried ginger, fir honey, nougat… Quite some oak in the background (green tannins – okay here.) Faint hints of wasabi and quite some pepper. Paprika. With water: keeps developing but doesn’t change directions. Dates and figs, a little salt, cardamom, green pepper… Finish: rather long, more on waxy spices – or spicy wax – and a little mustard. Comments: almost all 1972 Clynelishes – and Broras of course - are great whiskies and this is no exception. Extremely typical. SGP:642 – 91 points.
