Clynelish DOUBLE MATURE 70CL

Description

Clynelish Distillers Edition Oloroso Finish.

Tasting notes kindly supplied by Diageo.

Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine.

Brilliant, clean and refined with great balance. Double-matured in carefully selected Oloroso Seco casks, making it easy to drink, especially as an aperitif.

Colour; Amber.

On the nose; Immediate raisins, in fact rum and raisin. Dried orange peel. In time a clean walnut crispness appears. Water makes it softer, dried cherry, sultana, apricot and some honey. There’s still a slightly piercing quality – tangerine and chocolate.

Palate; Very sweet with plumped up dried fruit. Sultana cake with thick butter and underneath a bowl of nuts; hazelnut and macadamia. A slightly salty quality cutting through the unctuous texture.
