Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1968년에 증류되어 40년을 보낸 하이랜드 파크답게 깊은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 그윽하게 빛난다. 오크니 섬의 원액답게 향은 묵은 꿀과 옅은 헤더 피트, 말린 과일이 겹겹이 피어오른다. 40.9도의 부드러운 도수는 입안에서 잘 익은 과일과 꿀, 잔잔한 훈연으로 천천히 번진다. 40년 숙성이 다듬어 놓은 결은 더없이 둥글고 깊으며, 여운은 옅은 연기와 단내가 오래도록 머문다.
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
