Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연한 백포도주빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 흔들린다. 하이랜드 파크 특유의 부싯돌 같은 미네랄과 왁스, 젖은 분필의 서늘함이 먼저 열리고 풋사과와 레몬 제스트, 옅은 나무 연기가 뒤를 잇는다. 입에서는 57.6도의 힘이 후추와 풀내, 소나무 수지의 약간 약재 같은 뉘앙스로 팽팽하게 번진다. 퍼킨 캐스크가 오크니 원액의 풋풋함을 단단히 조인다. 여운은 길고 오크의 타닌과 홍차, 넛맥, 은은한 훈연이 오크니 섬 위스키의 개성을 오래 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it seems that it’s one of these rather flinty and mineral Highland Parks that are very ‘natural’ and that display the naked spirit’s typical oily waxiness and grassiness. Wet chalk, green tea and fresh walnuts plus just hints of pine needles. Gets fruitier in a second phase, with notes of freshly cut apples, lemon zests and then just wee whiffs of wood smoke and a little honey. Also funny hints of young fruity Comté cheese (which isn’t quite ‘cheesy’, by the way)
restaurant Palate
excellent body, rich, full and nervous. Peppery, half-grassy, half-fruity, a little minty, not unlike a strong mojito in a certain way. Some ginger and a little lemon plus the same notes of pine resin that give it a slightly medicinal feeling. Very good complexity and balance!
timer Finish
long, with more oak this time. Tannins, tea, nutmeg and quite some pepper in the aftertaste. Enjoyable smokiness
