.
Nose: What a nose! This is the signature profile of the beautiful distillate. Carnation floral fragrance, green apples, wax, peaches, lemons, oranges, mandarin peels, vanilla and pencil shavings. (88/100)
.
Palate: Sharp citrusy on arrival. The vanilla and oranges are talking to each other, grassy, earthy, chalky and perhaps some limestone. (87/100)
.
Finish: Very long, grassy, lemons, oranges, mandarin notes continue to shine before fading it out with some bitterness. (88/100)
.
Overall: Undeniable good Clynelish. The more I tasted this, the more I venerate it. (88/100)
