Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 깊은 호박빛이 잔에 또렷이 머문다. 오크니 섬의 Highland Park가 1973년 빈티지를 Single Cask로 34년 익혀 49.6도에 자체 병입한 보틀이다. 코에는 헤더 꿀과 그을린 토피, 묵은 가죽의 향이 깊게 머문다. 입안에서는 무화과 잼과 가벼운 피트, 시트러스 껍질이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 오크니 섬의 청량한 공기와 헤더 피트가 빚어낸 캐릭터가 그대로 담겨 있다. 여운에는 미세한 짠 피트가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
deeply honeyed and resinous at first, with many notes of wax polish, sea salt, crystallised green and exotic fruits, torches of yellow herbal liqueurs, tiny sooty inflections and things like sandalwood and mineral oils
restaurant Palate
a rather glossy sheen of honeys and minerals on arrival. Softer salty things like dried seaweed, seawater and then nicely sharp notes of pink grapefruit and preserved lemon. Wonderfully fresh and with excellent complexity. These resinous herbal and crystallised fruit qualities persist as well. The key impression is one of freshness and what I can only describe as an 'aged coastal' theme. Over time it becomes wonderfully herbal and delicately medicinal, the feeling of peat flavour dissipating and sub-dividing beautifully with age
timer Finish
long, tense, leathery, mineral, salty and resinously herbal and fruity
