Clynelish 1982/2010 (51.5%, Malts of Scotland, bourbon hogshead, cask #5895, 263 bottles)

Colour: straw. Nose: this one is rather heavy on oak and vanilla at first nosing, quite grassy as well, with also some leather and quite some cinnamon. Whiffs of cut grass and also some ham just like in the SMWS. Yet, it’s globally rounder and better integrated than the latter so far. After 15 minutes: much more distillery character, wax, linseed oil, sea breeze and moss. With water: yeah! One of these ‘modern’ Clynelishes that are so close to Old Clynelish (pre-Brora), just a little rounder and more polished. Lovable. Mouth (neat): very good attack, on this very peculiar combination of citrus fruits (more lemons and grapefruits) and wax/oils. Grape pip oil. Then more vanilla and grass, with quite some tannins. A very firm dram. With water: perfect. Not a wax-monster (c’mon) but the grassiness is perfect indeed. Finish: long, superbly zesty and Riesling-esque. Less vanilla, more green tea and some honey in the aftertaste. Comments: as good as a ‘modern’ Clynelish can get. I was afraid it would be a tad too much on vanilla but water brought that down. For Clynelish lovers. SGP:463 - 92 points.

Clynelish 1997/2013 (54.5%, Malts of Scotland, warehouse dram No.2, sherry hogshead, cask #MoS 13058, 185 bottles)

I’m not always a huge fan of sherried Clynelish, but let’s see what gives… Colour: dark gold. Nose: cancel that, this is a great nose, because it’s no lumpy sherry. I wouldn’t say Clynelish’s character still stands out, but I find these notes of mustardy walnuts rather superb. Love the coffee as well. With water: pastis and chestnuts! Mouth (neat): gosh, it works again! Plenty of bitter oranges with touches of chillies and pepper, then walnuts again. Or rather walnut wine. Right, fino. With water: ah, there, the spirit… Waxy oranges and honeydew on a slightly too caramelised walnut cake. Or something like that. Finish: long, with notes of rancio, old cognac style. Comments: they have it good in the warehouse! Having said that, I’m sure ten years of bottle ageing will make it even better, and further polish the corners. SGP:462 - 89 points.
