Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 섬의 청량한 바닷바람과 헤더 향 토탄이 하이랜드 파크의 균형 잡힌 개성을 빚어낸다. 퍼스트필 셰리 시즌드 아메리칸 오크에서 20년을 보낸 위스키는 짙은 호박빛을 띤다. 코에는 말린 과일과 꿀, 은은한 헤더 연기가 어우러져 솟고, 57.9도의 입에서는 건포도와 흑설탕, 옅은 그을음이 단단하게 균형을 이룬다. 달콤한 셰리와 옅은 연기가 길게 여운으로 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
red mahogany
air Nose
an archetypical and archetypal balanced semi-fruity sherry monster. There's not much to say, this works perfectly, there are dried figs, dates, raisins aplenty, orange marmalade, honey (heather? I couldn't tell you, it's too 'integrated') and milk chocolate plus, behind all that, this waxy minerality that's so typically HP. With water: swims like Mark Spitz. More tobacco, maybe. Full humidor and hay, some smoke and ashes
restaurant Palate
no excessive leather or similar notes, rather more oranges and pink grapefruits, what more could you ask for? And it's not even heavy. With water: perfect. Oranges in all their forms, wee touches of menthol and a little orange blossom water
timer Finish
long, curiously zesty considering the amount of sherry. More cloves and gingerbread in the aftertaste
