Clynelish 1989-1999 Cadenhead's Authentic Collection

The viscosity effectively softens the high proof. Clynelish CLYNELISH 1989-1999 CADENHEAD'S Authentic Collection 61.2% one of 240 bottles The aroma features beeswax and wax, apricot jam, oil, richness, with a smooth mouthfeel that expands into a sticky texture. The taste offers deep sweetness of apricot jam, rich umami, and a long, oily finish. [Good/Very Good] From Cadenhead's Authentic Collection comes Clynelish 1989-1999. The aroma strongly evokes Clynelish's house style with notes of beeswax wax, apricot jam, and oil. Upon tasting, the smooth mouthfeel does not convey the high proof of 61.2%, with a pronounced sticky viscosity. This transitions into a strong, rich sweetness and connects to an oily, long finish. Throughout, Clynelish maintained its house style, but the nuance of viscosity wrapping around the high proof above 60 degrees particularly lingered in my mind.
