When drinking, there is a sticky viscosity, the sweetness of apricot jam, plum, rich and oily with a long finish. [Good/Very Good] This Clynelish 1995, aged for 17 years, was bottled by Signatory for The Whisky Exchange and recently entered Japan. The aroma has a clear Clynelish-like nuance of beeswax wax and oil, as well as a rich, thick apricot jam. There is also a plum-like nuance that seems to come from the sherry cask, making it rich. When drinking, as expected, there is a sticky texture with viscosity. In addition to the original Clynelish-like fruity notes, there are also faint sherry-induced fruity notes. The sweet, rich flavor is strong. The finish is also oily and long-lasting, with a certain thickness, making it a bottle that offers quite a satisfying drinking experience.
