Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가만히 돌리면 1968년 증류된 하이랜드 파크가 40년 세월을 응축한 깊은 호박빛을 드러낸다. 오크니 섬 증류소답게 코끝에 가져가면 헤더 꿀과 말린 과일 사이로 옅은 히스 훈연이 섬세하게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 40.8도의 부드러운 질감 속에서 토피와 오렌지 껍질, 묵은 오크가 잔잔하게 번진다. 천천히 삼키면 반세기 가까운 숙성다운 우아한 단맛과 은은한 연기가 깊게 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
