Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 37년을 보낸 반세기에 가까운 숙성이 오크니 섬 하이랜드 파크 1966의 깊은 풍미를 빚어냈다. 던컨 테일러의 레어 올드답게 향에서는 말린 무화과와 오래된 가죽, 옅은 헤더 꿀이 천천히 솟아오른다. 41.4도의 낮은 도수로 입에 머금으면 흑설탕과 호두, 은은한 훈연이 매끄럽게 입천장을 덮는다. 오랜 셰리 숙성이 입힌 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 가라앉고, 오크니다운 미세한 연기가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 여운에는 가죽과 마른 향신료, 헤더가 길게 이어진다.

Gold
air Nose
This really reminds me of the older green dumpy official Highland Parks from the late 1950s and early 60s vintages. It has this same kind of elegant herbal peat crossed with earthy and coastal aspects. Sheep wool, camphor, wet beach pebbles, heather honey, a distant farmyard and many sooty and oily complexities. Totally harmonious and beautiful. These lower abv old school Highland Parks had this sense of immense power gently flexing in the glass and you get that here in spades. More herbs and lemon rind with time
restaurant Palate
Majestic! Ridden with soft peats, coal dust, soot, waxes, mineral oil, dried herbs and earth. Also some assorted citrus peels, old ointment and a little sandalwood. Probably best to stop here
timer Finish
Long, harmonious and totally beautiful. Full of minerals, waxes, dry peat, soot and camphor. Also little glimmers of wildflowers and white fruits peeping through towards the end
