"...The Oldest Clynelish ever released as a single malt by the Distiller. "...Mouth: a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Bone dry, metallic, petroly, mineral... Do you know Trimbach's Clos Ste Hune, by any chance? And once again, it's rather a Brora-ish Clynelish. What's really strange is that we've never seen any Brora 1973. Could we please meet with the gentleman who was responsible for stencilling the casks back in 1973? Please? Or his family? We'll bring chocolates and good wine... Ashes, pepper, mustard, hay, tar, seaweed fire... Yeah I know, Brora... Finish: long, majestically dry, sharp, concise, precise, ashy, mineral..." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
