Clynelish 2004 SMWS 26.101 59.3%

This one has been tasted recently, comments as follows. 

Clynelish 9 yo 2004/2014 SMWS cask 26.101 59.3% - quite young cask strength expression issued "to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the members' rooms at 28 Queen Street Edinburgh.".

Nose: fresh, vanilla and bread sweetness (influence of first fill bourbon cask), some baked apples appear afterwards.  

Taste: strong, whiffs of alcohol, notes of wood and bread.  

Finish: oaky with hints of anise and liquorice. 

Overall: active cask it was, even in this age oak is very obvious. Interesting young Clynelish indeed, though I'd prefer a bit older age :) 

Score: 22 21 21 21, 85/100!
