The Ducati, old French mustache wax, wet dogs, Frank Zappa and 'Valentine' are references to the legendary mustachioed Serge Valentin of Whiskyfun.com. Clynelish is one of his favourite distilleries. Nice that they decided to honour him with this bottling.

Bought a 14 yo Shieldaig Islay single malt and have an Ardbeg 10 to do a comparison to. Also bought a Glenlivet 12 and have a Glenmorangie 10 to compare that to. I have seen competition between the Glenlivet 12 versus Glenfiddich 12, and the Glenlivet usually wins. I have had the Glenmorangie and the Glenfiddich at the same time and prefer the Glenmorangie, so interested in which one between the Glenlivet and the Glenmorangie I will prefer.

these are the review notes of that specific bottling, directly from Serge Valentin's site: "Clynelish 25 yo 1993/2018 (47.7%, Scotch Malt Whisky Society, #26.125, ‘Valentin’s Moustache Wax’, refill bourbon barrel, 175 bottles) Four stars What Valentin’s moustache wax? It’s more and more obvious to me that they’ve smoked all their carpets, at the Vaults. Because I never use any moustache wax, mind you (isn’t that rather you, Charlie?) Let’s make this clear, I am not involved in this botting in any way, they’ve just used my name while I was busy elsewhere. Colour: white wine. Nose: it is a funny one, at that. Pointed cabbage, vase water, sweet mustard, manzanilla, old pears, heather honey, old dry muscat, a drop of vegetable bouillon, also a drop of miso soup (with bean curd)… And, how scandalous, no moustache wax whatsoever! And my lawyer who’s on vacation… Mouth: it is a loco Clynelish, indeed. More vegetables, lime juice, sour soups and juices, a touch of soap, some salted broth, Maggi… Actually, I’m wondering, isn’t this rather Glenturret? Or Tullibardine? Some salted caramel, a little pipe juice, artichokes… Now it grows on you, it’s just very unusual, and bizarrely salty. Split pea sausage soup. Never thought you could bring all this out of a bourbon barrel. Finish: rather long, a tad more leathery, waxier, with more paraffin and bitter oils. Comments: canned soup. Extremely hard to score. I’ll say 85 but it is kind of unparalleled in its salty oddness. I’m asking you, what can I do? SGP:362 - 85 points" www.whiskyfun.com/archivemay19-2-Cragganmore-Clynelish-Benrinnes.html#200519

Speaking of wax, are there any relatively accessible whiskies that you’d say have a lot of waxy notes? I often get a beeswax note on Wild Turkey 101, and other bourbons sometimes give me a cherry chapstick note that I think is a little waxy. Even in Laphroaig 10 I find Carmex. For some reason I really like finding those notes and would love to explore more.
