Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 제도의 거센 바람과 헤더 이탄이 길러낸 하이랜드 파크 1974 캐스크 스트렝스 컬렉션이다. 31년의 숙성이 남긴 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 그윽하게 어린다. 코에서는 말린 무화과와 금귤, 꿀에 올리브와 짭짤한 바다 내음이 겹친다. 45.4도의 도수로 입에서는 계피와 감귤, 잘 익은 멜론의 단맛에 민트와 감초가 더해진다. 오크니다운 헤더 꿀과 바다의 결이 어우러지며, 여운은 상큼한 레몬 향으로 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
it’s bigger whisky, with a kind of bigger sherriness (but it’s absolutely no sherry monster), more dried fruits, figs, kumquats, honey… The ‘official’ strength is lower but it’s got more oomph for sure, which doesn’t mean it’s ‘better’, for that matter. There’s also something more briny, with touches of olives and maybe anchovies. A very intriguing nose, I’m very curious about the palate now
restaurant Palate
once again it’s heavier than the 1976 despite the lower strength. I think the oak’s a little louder too, with more obvious cinnamon for instance, but behind that there’s a pretty wonderful range of citrus fruits, both fresh and candied, as well as these notes of honeydew that we already had in the 1976 (nope, that’s not quite heather honey). Mint and liquorice
timer Finish
rather long, with a playful lemony signature that sort of lifts the whole
