Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래된 황금빛이 잔 가장자리에 깊이 비친다. 1958년 빈티지의 하이랜드 파크 18년은 오크니 섬의 시간을 머금은 보틀링이다. 코에는 히더 꿀과 마른 풀, 가벼운 훈연이 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 입에서는 시리얼의 고소함이 부드러운 꿀과 사과 콩포트 위로 흐르며 섬 특유의 짭조름함이 따라온다. 43도의 절제된 무게가 만드는 여운에는 토탄의 향과 마른 헤더가 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold – it’s not one of these dark sherry versions
air Nose
extremely distinctive and very ‘old middle-aged HP’, starting on quite some linseed oil, a little linoleum, a good deal of cough syrup and a rather dry form of honeyness, going on with notes of dates and an obvious peatiness, as well as quite some sea breeze and some faint tarry notes. A little marzipan as well, bitter oranges and just hints of fatty cured ham (jamón ibérico de bellota? Whatever…) Superb but that’s hardly a surprise. Great elegance
restaurant Palate
exceptional attack, complex, spicy and honeyed as HP can be, with a good deal of peat and salt on top of many dried fruits (pineapples, figs, bananas) and an obvious leather as well as tiny-wee notes of cardboard or flour. Some oranges too, lemon-flavoured toffees… Wow
timer Finish
quite long, on a fab combination of honey, fresh oranges and a very elegant sweet and soft spiciness. A faint bitterness in the aftertaste (strong liquorice)
