Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오크니에서 숙성된 하이랜드 파크답게 헤더 꿀과 옅은 피트 연기, 말린 과일 향이 균형 있게 두드러진다. 1990년 싱글 캐스크의 단단한 캐릭터가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 56.5도로 진하게 입을 채우며, 토피와 향신료, 은은한 훈연이 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 피니시는 길고 따뜻하며, 오크니섬 특유의 헤더 같은 단맛과 스모크가 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
a very natural, almost ‘naked’ Highland Park, without any sherry influence but with big flinty and grassy notes at first nosing, then more yellow flowers, light honey, sour apple juice and just a little lemon. There’s quite some smoke as well, as well as a little rubber (new tyres). Hints of bacon and liquorice. With water: gets a tad farmier as often, rather smokier as well, with added whiffs of menthol. Funny how it goes back to raw barley after a moment – natural indeed
restaurant Palate
sweet, nervous, citrusy, playful, very fresh. A wee touch of paraffin, almond oil. Then quite some grapefruits and that faint smokiness that’s often to be found in ‘natural’ HPs. Butter pears. A tad austere but very good. With water: perfect ‘natural’ HP indeed (we insist! as Max Roach would say), with more honey and beautiful notes of tangerines, orange zests, wax, vanilla and fresh almonds
timer Finish
long, a tad bitterer now (grapefruits, lemon zests, green tea). Clean, slightly resinous aftertaste
