Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 셰리 캐스크에서 10년을 보낸 이 하이랜드 파크 앰배서더 캐스크는 우드가 절제된 만큼 헤더 꿀과 옅은 스모크가 또렷하다. 코에는 히스 향과 꿀, 라일락 같은 꽃내음 아래로 신선한 버터와 사과 주스가 스민다. 58.8도의 도수에서 입은 오렌지와 귤, 구운 브리오슈, 은은한 후추의 풍미로 채워진다. 옅은 금빛과 함께 꿀과 통조림 파인애플의 산뜻한 여운이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold, paler than earlier versions (I think they stopped adding caramel)
air Nose
extremely typical, heathery, honeyed and with the merest hint of smoke. Not bold but playful, getting more and more flowery (hints of lilac besides the heather), with also fresh butter, apple juice and even hints of fresh pineapple and ginger. Extremely pleasant
restaurant Palate
sure it’s not too bold and maybe even a little weakish at the attack but the profile is flawless. Hints of smoke, oranges, tangerines, apples, light honey, toasted brioche, touches of pepper… And a rather short but fresh and clean finish on honey and tinned pineapples. A perfect everyday dram I think, a little better than batches from the early 2000’s and certainly not an under-18 yo anymore. 85 points . Highland Park 10 yo 1996/2006 ‘Ambassador Cask #2’ (58.8%, OB, cask #1071)
