Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 노즈에는 오크니 하이랜드 파크 특유의 옅은 헤더 피트와 짭조름한 바닷바람, 잘 익은 살구가 가장 먼저 올라오고 그 뒤로 마른 헤더 꿀과 흰 후추가 따라붙는다. 입에서는 훈제된 견과와 캐러멜라이즈된 배, 옅은 꿀이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 41.3도의 알코올이 37년 숙성의 결을 잘 정돈해준다. 여운은 식어가는 헤더 피트와 짭조름한 미네랄로 깊게 머문다.

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
