Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 하이랜드 파크 특유의 히더 꿀과 은은한 피트 스모크가 가장 먼저 드러난다. 1963년이라는 희귀한 빈티지에서 온 잘 익은 과일과 마른 헤더, 옅은 훈연이 차례로 발전한다. 공기와 닿으면 오렌지 껍질과 밀랍 노트가 서서히 열린다. 팰럿은 오크니 섬다운 짭조름한 미네랄 위로 꿀과 오렌지, 가벼운 스모크가 명확하게 자리 잡는다. 피니시는 부드러운 피트와 달콤한 몰트의 여운이 길게 이어지며 마른 헤더의 잔향이 남는다. 반세기 전 증류된 올드 보틀링의 균형이 단단하다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s a lady. How delicate, how complex, how subtle after the 1970 and 1966 by the same bottler. This 1963 has got more dried fruits, camphor, menthol, quince jelly, some stunning floral notes (elderflowers), whiffs of old oils and greases and waxes, some walnuts again, then delicate touches of damp earth and our beloved mushrooms. In a way, it’s a lighter version of the Dragon. A little fresh butter as well
restaurant Palate
amen. Bigger than the nose suggested, and pretty unusual. There are flavours that are rarely to be seen in whisky, such as various vegetable soups (really), some lovely bitter nuts, or the insides of fruit stones, some kind of salty and maritime things… Could that be caviar? More classic tobacco after that, leather, smoked almonds, some polished wood (rather liquorice wood), mustard, even a little horseradish… It’s a little challenging at times, but don’t we like challenges?
timer Finish
long, and unexpectedly salty and leafy. There’s a feeling of heavily smoked and salted fish
