Tasting note
品飲筆記:這款2022年Distillers Edition先是散發出典型的蠟質香氣,接著有清新的柑橘皮、海風鹹香以及乾果的甜韻。雪莉收尾帶來杏仁、橘皮與微烘烤的香料感,口感奶油般圓潤且黏稠,中段巧克力與焦糖的溫和甘甜與橡木香互相牽引,尾韻帶鹹味且持久。 酒廠小記:Clynelish以海岸風味與蠟質口感聞名,此款以Double Matured手法在Oloroso Seco雪莉桶再次陳年,讓雪莉的乾果與堅果層次更明顯但不搶走本身風格。以46%裝瓶,兼顧香氣與結構。 製程與酒窖:採傳統銅製蒸餾器蒸餾,初期於前用桶陳放後轉入精選Oloroso Seco雪莉桶收尾,最後靜置調和以使香氣與木質感融合。酒廠坐落於高地海岸,倉庫受海風影響,帶來那抹獨特的海鹽感。 田野與環境:附近的涼爽氣候與海邊倉儲條件,讓酒液成熟時保有明亮輪廓與一點礦物鹹度。整體輕鬆卻層次豐富,適合慢慢品味與分享。
Tasting note: Aromas open with signature Clynelish waxy top notes layered over bright citrus zest and a coastal saline whisper. Secondary notes of dried figs, toasted almond, vanilla caramel and a hint of dark chocolate lead into a creamy, oily mid‑palate. The Oloroso Seco double‑maturation brings dry sherry complexity — nutty, orange peel and warm baking spice — balanced by fine toasted oak and a lengthy, slightly saline finish. Producer notes: This Distillers Edition receives a second maturation in specially selected Oloroso Seco casks, chosen to impart a drier sherry influence that complements the distillery’s natural waxy, maritime character. Bottled at 46% ABV to retain aromatic lift and mouthfeel. Winemaking / distillation notes: Distilled in traditional copper pot stills and finished in Oloroso Seco casks following primary maturation (ex‑bourbon/seasoned oak), the whisky is married and rested to allow integration of spice, fruit and oak layers without overwhelming the core distillery style. Vineyard / site notes: Crafted on the north Highland coast, the distillery’s coastal warehouses and cool, salty air contribute a subtle maritime note and tautness. The result is a balanced single malt that marries seaside freshness with warm, dry sherry richness — approachable on first pour yet rewarding with time in the glass.
