Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아메리칸 오크에서 25년을 보낸 세월이 오크니 섬 하이랜드 파크 1980에 꿀과 옅은 훈연의 균형을 입힌다. 단일 캐스크의 영향이 증류소 특유의 헤더 피트와 맞물려 또렷하다. 향에는 꿀과 말린 과실, 은은한 히스 연기가 어우러져 올라오고, 입에서는 토피와 오렌지, 가벼운 훈연이 매끄럽게 번진다. 55.5도의 도수가 단맛과 연기를 단단하게 받친다. 깊은 황금빛 끝으로 꿀과 옅은 잿내의 여운이 길고 우아하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
lighter mahogany
air Nose
yes! Textbook sherried HP goodness, complex and balanced, full of dried fruits and tarry smoke – and no traces of sulphur at all. Add honey, chocolate, rather cognac instead of armagnac, ripe peaches, pipe tobacco, old rancio, walnut wine, camphor, myrtle (a touch)… How lovely! With water: some earth and whiffs of brand new car. Plastic? More and more cigars after a few seconds, a cartload of Cubans
restaurant Palate
it’s a little rougher, a tad spritzig and rather medicinal, with a little antiseptic. And then, we experience the sherried cavalcade, but that would rather be jams this time, small berries, strawberries… Blackberry jam, anyone? Not quite a round and ample one, but I’m sure water will help. With water: all on teas now, it kept changing. Maybe a little cardboard too, but other than that, it’s almost pure black tea
timer Finish
long, with finer notes of oranges. Earl grey?
