- Excerpt: A big, robust finish offers more vanilla creaminess along with a burst of fruits, as raspberries enter the equation, along with tingling spice, and a touch of peat and smoke. Unique and lovely.

Yeasty dough, cream, lemon peel, salted caramel, apples, white grape.

Taste:
Sweet, floral, creamy grapes and pears. Very complex, more salted caramel, waxy lemon peel and cream.

Lightly peaty, rubbery. Sweet and ashy. Mild complexity here with medium length. That beautiful creamy waxy fruit and lemon peel is fantastic. This is really quite good.

Overall:
I'm rating this a Rank 8. It's really very good and the complexity is great. Its without a doubt old Clynelish in my mind and that is my jam as of late. I love the profile and the finish is pretty good too. That being said, while this is a great bottle, it's over priced. Which explains why I have a sample of this and not the entire thing.
