Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1967년 증류된 하이랜드 파크의 헤더 꿀과 옅은 토탄 연기, 마른 향신료가 먼저 감지된다. 37년이라는 긴 세월을 거친 팰럿은 잘 익은 무화과와 오크, 은은한 훈연이 정갈한 구조감으로 발전한다. 41.3도의 낮은 도수는 오크니 몰트 특유의 균형을 잔잔하게 전하고, 피니시에는 꿀과 마른 풀, 옅은 스모크가 길게 남는다. 반세기 가까운 숙성의 깊이가 명확하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very, very fragrant and aromatic again at first nosing, with lots of honey and the trademark heather. Then we have lots of cooked fruits (beautiful notes of quince jelly, which I cherish), strawberry jam, apricot pie… Very, very appetizing. Quite some crystallized oranges as well… And it keeps developing, with a beautiful blend of smoky, woody, meaty and slightly soapy/waxy aromas. It gets then meatier and meatier, on hot ham, but never loses it fruitiness, with even whiffs of bergamot (earl grey) and very ripe coconuts, and, perhaps, a little fresh mint. Extremely enjoyable and no sign of tiredness
restaurant Palate
a certain weakness at first sip and quite some tannins as well, the whole making it really dry this time. Develops on some ultra-bold coconut (even Malibu – yes) and dried oranges, clove and ginger, nutmeg, white pepper… Lots of oak, with a rather short finish, with some notes of rum… Well, this one may have spent too much time in its cask and went over the hill but it’s far from being unpleasant. And the nose was rather magnificent! 85 points. Highland Park 1967/2005 (41.3%, Duncan Taylor)
