Clynelish 14 Year

Phenols at 8 ppm. Nose: light fresh fruit: apple/pear, sweet/sugar aroma, smells somehow like a field Palate: honey, ginger, wood, oily, beeswax?, slight bitterness Finish: ginger and light sweetness lingers, there is a light tea note as well Overall: complex with little of any obvious peat; well worth a try Add some water to enhance the aromas and pick out more flavors Probably aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. (Clynelish used to be one of the two distilleries, with Brora).

Drinking neat: the tasting notes on this app are on point. Floral honey, rain, pear, ocean breeze, salt, earthy peat. A solid little dram. I probably wouldn't buy a whole bottle but if you can get a dram or a mini I recommend giving it a try.
