Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
붉은 기 도는 호박빛이 잔 안에 짙게 어린다. 퍼스트필 아메리칸 셰리 오크가 더한 향에서는 헤더 꿀과 건포도, 그 아래 옅은 피트 연기가 은은하게 솟는다. 하이랜드 파크다운 단맛과 연기의 조화가 입안에서 오렌지와 시나몬, 그을린 오크로 또렷하게 번진다. 15년 숙성과 58.5도의 도수가 풍미를 단단하게 끌어올리고, 오크니의 청량한 기운이 끝맛에 스민다. 꿀과 옅은 훈연의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
brown amber
air Nose
this is completely different, and you would be forgiven for thinking this is chocolate sauce, had you nosed this blind. You could add that you’re also finding leather and tobacco, as well as notes of tomato sauce and roast jus. And oloroso. With water: a wonderful sherry-y sourness, probably a little challenging to the beginner, but we both aren’t beginners, are we?
restaurant Palate
not as thick as I had thought, but certainly very spicy, hinting at some new oak seasoned with sherry. Big pepper, oloroso-y notes, old walnuts, caraway and cloves, and even more pepper – and chilli. Arrabiata sauce, perhaps? With water: expands and relaxes, that’s cool. More on chocolate, raisins, walnut and coffee liqueur, Xmas cake, sloe, juniper, aquavit…
timer Finish
long, spicy, peppery. Bitter chocolate and myrtle liqueur in the aftertaste
