Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
은은한 금빛이 잔 속에 맑게 어린다. 오크니 섬의 하이랜드 파크가 열두 해를 보낸 이 세인트 매그너스 에디션은 균형 잡힌 만능형의 개성을 지녔다. 히스 꿀과 부드러운 이탄, 흙내음 위로 셰리의 수지 같은 결과 짭조름한 시트러스가 피어오른다. 40도의 도수 위로 쓴 오렌지와 우드 스파이스, 훈제한 올리브유의 결이 혀를 감싼다. 여운은 길고 미네랄하며 레몬 껍질과 옅은 타르의 이탄이 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
It’s this sort of juice that got early writers like Michael Jackson raving about HP and it’s easy to see why. It really is a wonderful spread of heathery honey, very soft peats, earthiness, some resinous sherry notes and lemony/salty coastal aspect. You can understand why it came to be referred to as the ‘great all rounder’ or whatever the phrase was. It does possess a rather unique ‘universality’, something I’m not sure you could say about the current HP - although that’s not necessarily a criticism
restaurant Palate
Bitter oranges, wood spice, smoked olive oil, black olives in brine, chopped fresh herbs such as parsley and chives and even some sherry-induced rancio. Surprisingly old school in fact. If you’d give me this blind and said it was bottled in the 70s I wouldn’t have blinked
timer Finish
Long, mineral, nervous sherry again, lemon rind, oils, a little natural tar and some green fruits. A fading, drying and increasingly medicinal peat in the aftertaste
