Clynelish 9y/o SMWS 26.187 'Fisherman's Friends on the Beach' 61.6%ABV 30ml

I was at Whisky and Alement when this bottle was finished and everyone said it was great, but I was too slow and didn't get to try it... FOMO kicked in so I've got a bottle now.

SMWS Notes:

The nose finds syrupy flapjack sweetness, heady aromas of pressed flowers and dunnage warehouses, gentle woody spices (including Fisherman’s Friends) and lemon oil. The palate complies – shortbread and salted caramel, citric peel, apricot and physalis, fresh laundry, hibiscus tea and Victory V lozenges. Adding water brings apple notes and hints of mint to the nose, along with mineral suggestions of slate and rock-pools. The reduced palate is a delight – still mouth-coatingly waxy, now with real fruity intensity – peaches and cream, mango and monstera, some seaside holiday memories of sea breezes and ice-cream cones; then a finish of warm earthy spices.
