Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오크니 스캐파 특유의 부드러운 곡물 향과 1차 버번 배럴의 바닐라가 먼저 두드러진다. 비피트 증류소답게 17년 숙성에도 향은 맑고 꿀과 시트러스, 크림이 명확하게 발전한다. 55.3도의 캐스크 스트렝스에서 입은 보리 단맛과 바닐라, 옅은 풀내가 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 꿀과 오크로 깔끔하게 이어진다. 1차 필 버번의 또렷한 단맛이 구조감을 단단하게 받친다.
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
