Clynelish CLYNELISH 1972 30yo MURRAY MCDAVID MISSION 46% One of 600 bottles
Bottle #クライヌリッシュ(CLYNELISH)
Even though it was bottled in the early 2000s, it still tasted like 1972. Clynelish CLYNELISH 1972 30yo MURRAY MCDAVID MISSION 46% One of 600 bottles The aroma is elegant, with notes of apricot tea, beeswax wax, tree resin, gentle oil, mint, and a subtle peat. When tasted, it has a smooth and viscous texture with the sweetness of apricot jam and a gentle acidity. It is oily and waxy, but due to the water addition, it has a refined character with a pleasant aftertaste. 【Very Good】 This Clynelish 1972, aged for 30 years, is part of the Murray McDavid Mission series and was bottled around 2002. I know that I like Clynelish 1972, and the master left a last shot for me. However, I was too late to get there, so quite a bit of the aroma had already faded. Nevertheless, the waxy and oily characteristics, along with notes of apricot tea and tree resin, were still present. I could truly feel that even with the water addition, these unique characteristics remain intact. This bottle would be consumed quickly if opened at home, so I can't have such experiences. Thank you. I received this bottle from Oudaiyoshi in Sagamihara.
