Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
화이트 와인빛이 잔에 맑게 어린다. 2003년 증류해 퍼스트필 아메리칸 셰리 오크에서 12년을 보낸 하이랜드 파크는 부싯돌 같은 광물성과 젖은 분필, 녹차, 호두에 솔잎의 서늘함이 자연스럽게 얽힌다. 58.1도의 술은 입안에서 후추와 풀, 민트가 어우러진 강한 모히토처럼 팽팽하고 생기 있게 퍼지며 생강과 레몬, 솔 수지의 약재 같은 결을 남긴다. 여운은 길고 오크의 탄닌과 후추, 은은한 훈연이 감돌며 잦아든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
it seems that it’s one of these rather flinty and mineral Highland Parks that are very ‘natural’ and that display the naked spirit’s typical oily waxiness and grassiness. Wet chalk, green tea and fresh walnuts plus just hints of pine needles. Gets fruitier in a second phase, with notes of freshly cut apples, lemon zests and then just wee whiffs of wood smoke and a little honey. Also funny hints of young fruity Comté cheese (which isn’t quite ‘cheesy’, by the way)
restaurant Palate
excellent body, rich, full and nervous. Peppery, half-grassy, half-fruity, a little minty, not unlike a strong mojito in a certain way. Some ginger and a little lemon plus the same notes of pine resin that give it a slightly medicinal feeling. Very good complexity and balance!
timer Finish
long, with more oak this time. Tannins, tea, nutmeg and quite some pepper in the aftertaste. Enjoyable smokiness
