Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 오크니 하이랜드파크 특유의 헤더 꿀과 은은한 훈연이 먼저 두드러진다. 퍼스트필 아메리칸 셰리 오크의 영향으로 팰럿은 말린 과일과 꿀의 단맛이 또렷하게 발전한다. 오렌지 껍질과 가벼운 향신료, 옅은 이탄 연기가 56.7도의 도수에 실려 균형을 이룬다. 20년 숙성의 깊이가 단단한 구조감을 만들고, 피니시는 꿀과 스모키함으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
extremely unusual, starting with varnish and even acetone, followed by bitter almond and turpentine. It almost feels like there’s rye in there. Then come figs and walnut wine, though adding water is a must. With water: still very singular, with more wood varnish, green walnuts, and some slightly overripe apples
restaurant Palate
the cask’s influence is massive, with loads of pepper, juniper, pine sap, varnish, and those bitter almonds again. It’s rather unusual. With water: the cask’s impact becomes even more evident—pine, resins, walnuts, ink, mead, bitter almonds, amaretti biscuits…
timer Finish
long, and the almonds remain dominant. Think Italian almond liqueurs (yes, the Italians again, sacrebleu!)
