Signatory Clynelish 1996 Decanter 43%

This item is archived.

New and exclusive to KWM in Alberta, the Signatory Clynelish 1995 Decanter, bottled at 43% from a single cask 8682. Based on the number of bottles, 853, and the flavour profile, I suspect this is a Sherry Butt or a Puncheon, probably PX. Only 18 bottles coming to KWM.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: silky, honeyed an creamy with spices and banana bread; gently oaky with soft floral tones, loads of sugar and a hint of spice; soft leather and stewed fruits.

Palate: big for 43%, very creamy, honeyed and toasty; loads of oak, but fresh and crisp, kept well in balance; more soft leather, bright spices and stewed fruits; a touch of sherry notes and chocolate; the wood builds with honey and stewed fruits.

Finish: long, drying and coating; creamy honey lingers long with stewed fruits, oak and decadent spice.

Comment: I am often biased against whiskies at 43%, sometime unfairly so, this is a good example of that... a huge malt, no matter what the strength; rich, but you can still discern the Clynelish in it!
