Tasting Notes
북단 오크니 섬의 거센 바람과 히스 이탄이 하이랜드 파크의 깊은 개성을 새긴 고장에서 온 오래된 위스키다. 잔에는 은은한 앰버빛이 어린다. 1929년을 채워 1939년에 병입한 10년의 원액은 흙내와 초석, 오래된 가죽과 밀랍 향을 하나의 완결된 결로 피워 올린다. 43도의 도수는 입안에서 말린 무화과와 버섯, 은은한 이탄을 부드럽게 감아 흐른다. 한 세기 가까운 시간을 건너온 만큼 향과 맛이 분해되지 않는 완전한 하나로 다가온다. 이 희귀한 보틀링은 섬의 흙과 히스의 향을 고요한 여운으로 남긴다.

oh no! I mean, yes! It’s a whole, it’s not a collection of aromas, just like the greatest wines. It’s actually hard to break it down into descriptors, but I could try. What’s striking me first is the earthiness that’s in this. Imagine you’re wandering in a long-forgotten mine or something… or a cave. There’s a mustiness, some saltpetre for sure, some mushrooms… Then you’re in an old garage, full of old cars (I could quote prestige makers but I won’t – or maybe Delahaye?), with scents of old leather, Bakelite, natural rubber, cardboard, used oil, concrete… Wait, how much time do we have? Yeah, so I’ll only add beeswax, old chartreuse and dried figs. There

is there a language for this? Semantics? A vocabulary? Shall we even dare commenting on this? First, once again, it’s a whole. It’s not a jigsaw, it’s a Turner. Listen, I may have tried ten whiskies that were as ‘high’ as this in my whole tasting life, or maybe even less, and each and every time I couldn’t not think of Duke Ellington. That must be some kind of disease. The great Dave Broom has just written, in a great article in Whisky Advocate about the Islay Jazz Festival, that yours truly ‘can’t listen to jazz and taste whisky’. That is true. Because jazz already is in the greatest whiskies. And in this one there’s Duke Ellington. Oh and the whole Duke Ellington Orchestra, with Juan Tizol and all those guys. Oh hell, please call the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade before it’s too late
