One of three 20 year old Clynelish distilled in 1995 and bottled by Signatory after 20 years to come into KWM, exclusively in Alberta. Cask 8686, a Refill Sherry Butt, has been bottled at 53.2%. Only 12 bottles coming in!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: dark chocolate, dried dark fruits and a freshly opened box of Cuban cigars; soft new leather, damp leaf litter, and honeycomb right from the hive; espresso roast coffee beans, drying maple syrup and pencil shavings.
Palate: rich, dark and very chocolaty with building tobacco, dark spices (clove and fennel) and more pencil shavings; the dark fruits are big and chunky, classic Christmas cake with a side of Panda brand licorice and maple syrup; the honeycomb is still there but with some quince paste and espresso beans.
Finish: long, rich and coating, more honey; big Christmas cake, tobacco and leather and clove.
Comment: this is as close to a sherry bomb as Clynelish can get without loosing its essential Clynelishiness!
Signatory Clynelish 1995 52.7%
$211.49
It is not every day that we see 20 year old single cask Clynelish, let alone 3! July of 2016 we got in 3 single cask, 20 year old Clynelish from Signatory, all matured in sherry. This one is cask 8683, bottled at a cask strength of 52.7% from a Refill Sherry Butt.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: heather honey, assorted jujubes, mint heavy mojitos and mint juleps; fleshy fruits like plums and freshly picked chocolate dipped strawberries; subtle leather, spices and tobacco.
Palate: beautiful, the most elegant and nuanced of the three; more heather honey, lots of cool mint, more plums and chocolate strawberries; raspberry cranachan, candied fruits and jujubes with some firm toasted oak and building dark sugars; the spices are there too, but just as a complement, ginger and cinnamon; candied orange and diced under-ripe mango.
Finish: long, coating and toasty with decadent sugars, honey and spice; layered and elegant.
Comment: wow, this one is subtle with layers and elegance; more understated than the other two and hard to put down.
