Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 따스하게 일렁인다. 오크니 섬의 하이랜드 파크 1981년 싱글 캐스크답게 코에는 히스 꽃 같은 꿀과 은은한 모닥불 연기, 말린 과일이 그윽하게 솟는다. 55도의 도수를 타고 입에서는 헤더 꿀과 구운 견과, 옅은 훈연향이 균형감 있게 번진다. 섬 특유의 부드러운 피트가 중심을 잡고, 달콤하면서도 스모키한 여운이 길고 우아하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
another world. One of these restless, very natural indie HP’s that are so different from the OB’s that one may wonder if it’s from the very same distillery. Big porridge, pears, pollen, cut grass, ashes, birch smoke, dry white wine (sauvignon and riesling), lemon, nutmeg and wet wood. As restless as the 16yo was peaceful
restaurant Palate
excellent, big attack, very coherent with the nose, starting with peppered dried pears, dried apples, cloves, cinnamon, tannins (not aggressive but big), acacia honey (but where’s the heather?)... Gets more liquoricy and candied with time, with also notes of quinces and bergamot sweets. Really full-bodied – to say the least
timer Finish
long, more peppery, smokier and spicier, as well as more honeyed. An ever-going Highland Park that needs a little time if you want to catch all its various layers in fact. Excellent, in any case
