Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 클라레 캐스크에서 마무리한 하이랜드 파크 1981의 짙은 적갈색이 잔 벽을 따라 미끄러져 내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 오크니의 헤더 꿀과 와인 캐스크의 붉은 자두, 마른 가죽 향이 한 번에 인사한다. 50도의 한 모금을 머금으면 더글라스 랭 올드 몰트 캐스크가 그을린 헤더, 옅은 토탄, 시나몬을 입천장에 풀어놓는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 클라레의 떫은 단맛이 길게 따라간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
and yet a different profile. This one is more on herbs, mint, dill, fennel… It’s also peatier than the other ones, more coastal as well, earthier… In short, more from the countryside, less for big cities. Oh, forget about that. A little medicinal as well. With water: more of all that, esp. the earthiness
restaurant Palate
once again it’s more phenolic than the other ones, more ‘northern Highlands’ in a certain way. Flints, smoke, grass, herbal liqueurs, liquorice wood, Chartreuse… Very nice, I think. Smoked cough syrup. With water: zesty, lemony, nervous, lovely. And always quite some smoke for HP
timer Finish
long, clean, fresh, citrusy, herbal and smoky. What’s not to like? Greatly medicinal and mentholated aftertaste
