Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 제도의 바닷바람과 헤더 이탄이 하일랜드 파크에 훈연과 야성을 새긴다. 1992년 셰리 캐스크 원액을 융프라우요흐 고지대에 옮겨 보관한 독특한 13년으로, 잔에는 청동빛이 어린다. 향은 흙내 나는 농가 뉘앙스와 훈제 차, 이탄 연기 뒤로 딸기와 살구, 가죽이 드러난다. 58.7도의 도수가 입안을 진하게 채우며 달콤함과 함께 오렌지와 열대 과일, 유황이 뒤섞인다. 여운은 길게 이어지며 스모크와 셰리의 단맛이 뒤엉켜 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
bronze
air Nose
immediately more interesting than most other finishings done at Springbank I think. We have a huge farminess, with whiffs of wet dog (pick your 'brand') and lots of smoked tea. Sort of peaty, with also lots of manure. Once those wild aromas vanish a little we get strawberries and apricots and much more refinement, with also hints of old walnuts and leather. Sort of heady, nicely
restaurant Palate
sweeter and, alas, weirder, with smells of rotting oranges, scented soap, pineapple sweets and all kinds of Turkish delights. Very strange, closer to most other finishings done 'on' Springbank or Longrow recently. A bit hard I must say, or maybe I'm not perverse enough. The nose was quite beautiful but the palate is, let's say wacky. And I didn't mention the rubber and the sulphur. Now, I really enjoyed the nose, hence my 80 points . CRAZY WHISY ADS – THE WAR OF THE DECANTERS part 6 1957: right, this is no whiskey but I love this hugely kitschy one by Smirnoff vodka, called the ‘Pinnacle Decanter’! 1958: Old Grand-Dad ‘The Head of the Bourbon Family… at the head of your gift-list’ Interesting contrast between the modern-shaped decanter and the… er, bust. 1958: Schenley strikes back with their Heirloom Decanter. Ueber-kistch composition with the biscuit singers etc… 1958: In the meantime, Old Forster keeps issuing very modern shapes. ‘The same fine Old Forester… packaged in the holiday spirit.’ December 11, 2006 PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK TASTING - HIGHLAND PARK GALORE: SIX NEW BOTTLINGS Highland Park 13 yo 1992/2006 'Jungfrau' (58.7%, Angel's Share, Switzerland, cask #20369, 288 bottles) A crazy experiment by Swiss retailer Angel's Share. In 2005 they bought a cask of 1992 first fill oloroso Highland Park and stored it for one year at the Jungfraujoch (3454 m) where the temperature is very cold and the air very dry. The whole story is there . I've been told the whisky lost around 5% alcohol in the process
