Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오크니 증류소 스카파의 꿀 같은 단맛과 퍼스트필 버번의 바닐라 향이 먼저 두드러진다. 피트를 쓰지 않는 둥근 몰트답게 팰럿은 55.8도의 도수 위로 잘 익은 배와 크림이 또렷하게 발전한다. 옅은 소금기와 시트러스가 균형을 이루며 입을 채운다. 17년 숙성이 만든 부드럽고 단단한 구조감이 돋보이고, 피니시는 꿀과 바닐라로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
White wine
air Nose
By Jove, it seems we may have indeed attributed some secret Scapa to HP, as this is equally earthy and mineral, lemony, taut, waxy, and complex like the famous malt of Edrington's. There are even these admirable notes of heather honey, perhaps even white heather. Heather is fascinating, and heather honey even more so. With water: Ultra-precise, with heather, sweet woodruff, and limestone. Palate (undiluted): It's a bit more aggressive on the palate than on the nose, but it's rare to find lemon and limestone paired like this, except in the Aligotés from Domaine de Villaine. But we are far from Burgundy! Excellently taut, while still being enveloped by vanilla, honeysuckle, and a hint of coconut. With water: It really is a wine-malt. More honeyed notes this time
timer Finish
Medium-length, with citrus liqueurs and once again, limestone notes. A touch of pink rhubarb
