Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 들어 빛에 비춰 흔들면 1968년 증류된 하이랜드 파크의 깊은 호박빛이 느리게 출렁인다. 코를 대면 40년 숙성이 빚은 헤더 꿀과 오래된 오크, 옅은 피트 향이 차곡차곡 겹쳐 올라온다. 한 모금 머금어 굴리면 40.9도의 부드러운 술이 말린 무화과와 향신료의 깊은 단맛을 펼친다. 삼킨 뒤 오크니 섬 특유의 은은한 훈연이 길게 잠긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
roughly the same kind of profile as most other old un-sherried HP’s by Duncan Taylor, only a tad more phenolic and fragrant at the same time. Hints of old roses and liquorice allsorts, then mastic and pine resin, marzipan, strawberry jam… Quite a lot happening in there. Hints of smoked tea… Settles down on the usual beeswax, honey and apricot pie. Little woodiness, which is great news
restaurant Palate
the mouth feel isn’t really big, maybe even a tad weakish, but the fruitiness is perfect (oranges) at the attack. Sort of collapses after that, except for the pleasant ‘orangey honeyness’. Little tannins, which makes that the whole stays clean and fresh
timer Finish
short but clean
