Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 기울이면 윤기 도는 호박빛이 잔 안에서 묵직하게 일렁인다. 코를 가져가면 히스 꽃 꿀과 옅은 훈연, 말린 오렌지가 차례로 피어나며 깊이를 더한다. 한 모금 머금으면 33년 숙성한 하이랜드 파크답게 부드러운 단맛 뒤로 오크의 무게가 받쳐 준다. 오크니 섬에서 익은 원액을 삼키면 은은한 연기와 향신료가 혀끝에 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
we’re somewhere between both worlds here, with both the grassy smokiness that one can find in some independent HPs and the roundness and honeyness that’s more to be found in the OBs. There’s also a roasted side (toasted bread, grilled herbs), quite some dark chocolate, some menthol and then a slightly rough combination of hay and grains, with touches of rubber and leather from the butt. A little beeswax as well. With water: the rubber and the hay come out more
restaurant Palate
big, rich and nervous, very citrusy and chocolaty, with touches of salt and then a rather fizzy spiciness (pepper, ginger). With water: softer, with more bitter oranges and toffee
timer Finish
medium long, rather honeyed, with that greenness remaining in the aftertaste, together with some orange marmalade
