Clynelish 14 Year

Honey, raisin, apple, floral

Highland oily air, but not as much as others. Bit of smoke and a bit tart. Burnt and heady finish.

This is a good whiskey. My high-level summary is that it tastes like Oban 14’s brother from another mother. They’re related but C14 has a little more personality. O14 is like eating French Toast on a warf on a foggy day .... C14 is like eating the same French Toast but on a warm, sunny day and eating it with a little spiced butter and meyer lemon on top. There’s more punch than O14 and more highs/lows in flavor - earthy coriander mixed with some waxy honey and pings of lemon which adds some nice dimension. This is a warm-you-up whiskey; a good way to start off a night and prepare your palate for an adventure.

An easy lingering mouthful of cereals, nuts, apple, honey and vanilla. Like a slow sunday morning breakfast. Great stuff.
