Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 파크의 1958 빈티지를 오크 캐스크에서 17년 숙성한 그린 덤피 보틀. 43도의 도수에도 오크니의 청량한 캐릭터가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 노즈는 헤더 꿀과 묵은 가죽, 약한 피트 스모크가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 무화과 잼과 헤이즐넛, 짠 미네랄로 발전하며 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 헤더의 달콤한 향과 오크 향신료가 길게 이어진다. 1950년대 하이랜드 파크의 보석.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold/pale amber
air Nose
again, this isn’t a very expressive HP at first nosing, even if it’s straighter and maybe a little more elegant than the 1979. Gets suddenly extremely orangey, with huge notes of orange liqueur, bitter oranges and Fanta. Whiffs of gunpowder and wet earth. Again, much straighter than the 1979 in spite of these big orangey notes. With water: there’s a little rubber now but it quickly disappears. It’s a little more vegetal globally (as often after reduction with water.) ‘Cleanly orangey’
restaurant Palate
very rich, candied, thick, starting all on jams (oranges again, plums, apricots…) and developing on nougat, honey and vanilla fudge. Almost ‘spoonable’. With water: we’re very close to very good officials now, the distillery being rather easily recognisable. ‘Phenolically honeyed’ (and what else?)
timer Finish
long and smooth at the same time, even more ‘OB’ now
