Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
세월에 익은 깊은 호박빛이 잔 바닥까지 그윽하게 고인다. 오크니 하이랜드 파크가 1977년에 증류해 스물여덟 해를 보낸 이 핑 보틀링은 은은한 헤더 꿀과 말린 과일, 옅은 히스 연기의 향을 우아하게 피운다. 52.3도의 술은 입안에서 꿀과 건과일, 약간의 그을린 향과 향신료를 둥글게 엮으며 오크니 특유의 균형을 드러낸다. 여운에는 헤더 꿀과 옅은 훈연, 말린 과일이 길고 부드럽게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber with red hues
air Nose
some sherry this time, and this is just as unusual as the 1986, with these wee whiffs of fur coat, Chanel No.5 and reseda at first nosing, and then these touches of old Burgundy wine, dried mushrooms, peonies, amaretto, cherries and then the expected dried fruits from the sherry cask. Dates, figs, sandalwood, almond oil… It’s very complex but you have to work on it a bit. Cigars. With water: I like this a lot, manzanilla-style with the Chanel flying above it again. Beautiful complexity
restaurant Palate
starts earthy/dusty, with touches of cardboard, tapioca, heavy cloves and gin from the oak. Some heavy liquorice too and then more classic dried fruits, rather dark and not too sweet. Smyrna raisins, blood oranges. High sherry content. With water: once again it’s the earthiness that comes out, together with something ‘pleasantly chemical’. Vitamin C tablets?
timer Finish
long, more on raisins and other dried fruits. Slightly fizzy
