Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 신선한 시리얼과 헤더 꿀, 조약돌과 꽃가루 향이 먼저 두드러지고 건포도와 가죽이 뒤를 받친다. 오크니 섬 하이랜드 파크다운 해안성 시트러스가 전체를 생기 있게 잡아 준다. 팰럿은 오크가 다소 또렷한 가운데 비터 마멀레이드와 블러드 오렌지, 당밀이 균형 있게 발전한다. 피니시는 중간 길이로 마른 꽃과 옅은 헤더 피트가 깊게 머문다. 셰리 시즌드 오크로 빚은 하이랜드 파크 15년의 균형이 명확하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
one of the few official HPs that actually gravitates more towards many of these 'Orkney' malts that are ubiquitous amongst today's indy bottlers. Which is no bad thing! Lots of fresh cereals drizzled with heather honey, pebbles, pollens, sultanas, old school shilling ales (a kind of dark, foamy and creamy bitter beer common in Scotland but more popular in previous decades) and also things like leather and mineral oils. There's also a strong impression of citrus rinds and coastal freshness running underneath that keeps everything lively and buoyant
restaurant Palate
the wood feels a tad more assertive up front, but there's some nice notes of bitter marmalade, blood orange, grapefruit pith, treacle and kumquat. Juicy, quite fruity and with a nicely balanced texture and weight in the mouth - the ABV feels quite smartly chosen in this regard
timer Finish
medium, nicely bitter, green herbs, dried flowers, leather, mineral oil and a wee kiss of heathery peat
