Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 섬 키르크월 만 부근, 헤더가 무성한 황무지와 짠 해풍이 이 위스키의 풍토적 뼈대를 이룬다. 스카파 1988년산 30년은 옅은 황금빛으로 잔에 잠겨 있다. 향에는 헤더 꿀과 갓 깎은 풀, 옅은 바닐라가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 시트러스 마멀레이드와 짠 토피, 흰 후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 53.8도의 균형은 단단하다. 짠 미네랄과 마른 헤더 여운이 길고 청량하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this one's really very leafy for a few seconds, more so than the OB, but it gets then frankly rounder, more honeyed, cakier, and rather more mentholy. Whiffs of Vicks Vapo Rub - some Vicks that some mad scientist would have aged in active oak. With water: leaves and moss, some sour wood
restaurant Palate
it's rather oak-driven and that would be mentholated oak, should that exist. Green tea, eucalyptus, lime, fruit skins, fresh walnuts, manzanilla, a wee drop of mustard... Indeed all this is very dry and green, which I certainly enjoy. With water: similar. Lovely grassy bitterness, most fresh and tense. Not a lot of salt this time
timer Finish
long, on more leaves and green spices, pepper, cardamom, green curry, aniseed, fennel, lime... Marzipan in the aftertaste
