Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니의 하이랜드 파크 1988이 셰리 버트에서 28년을 머문 끝에 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 깊이 잠긴다. 향에서는 헤더 꿀의 단맛과 옅은 훈연, 마른 무화과가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 49.4도의 입안은 매끄럽게 흘러 흑설탕과 가죽, 부드러운 정향의 매콤함, 짭짤한 미네랄이 차례로 풀린다. 카덴헤드 스몰 배치가 골라낸 오크니의 결이 깊고 단정한 여운으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold. Not pink, hurray!
air Nose
and that worked. No Port, rather this very typical, slightly mouldy profile that you would find in some very old wine cellar, then a feeling of smoky/fruity herbal tea, then some mint and camphor, perhaps one raspberry, and certainly cigars. Sooty cigars. Love it that the Highlandparkness made it through the Port
restaurant Palate
but it worked! Did they monitor this cask every single week? Air-dried red berries, blood oranges, a touch of caraway, a medicinal side (eucalyptus), a hint of thyme tea, half some blackcurrant gum… This should have been unbalanced, but it isn’t, at all
timer Finish
long, and using the full power of your mind, you could even find wee notes of Touriga Nacional
