Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 헤더 꿀과 잘 익은 사과, 은은한 히스 연기가 명확하게 드러난다. 1968년 오크니에서 증류해 34년을 보낸 보틀링으로, 오랜 숙성이 향을 한층 깊고 둥글게 다듬었다. 40.1도까지 떨어진 도수는 오히려 향미를 부드럽게 풀어 놓는다. 팰럿에서는 오렌지 마멀레이드와 오크의 가벼운 탄닌이 발전하고 꿀의 단맛이 중심을 잡는다. 피니시는 옅은 스모크와 향신료가 길고 은은하게 이어지며 노련한 균형을 보여 준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber – orange
air Nose
a perfect balance right from the start, with lots of dried fruits, orange juice and all sorts of fresh fruits as well. Alas, it gets also a little too caramelly and woody, lacking complexity
restaurant Palate
bold, very peppery and quite tannic, getting even cardboardy. Some nice fruity notes, though: dried oranges, quince, and also some bitter chocolate. Very nice and drinkable, in fact, lacking just a little extra-complexity. 84 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – Recommended listening - Stereolab again. I know this doesn't sound too serious but frankly, I like the English-French band's sense of second degree and 'humour'. Try for instance the bouncy and very, very easy (but nicely made) Mass riff.mp3 (from their 2003 EP Instant O the Universe) and you'll see what I mean. And please buy their music. October 23, 2005 MUSIC – It's Sunday, we go classical: American soprano Beverly Sills does Una voce poco fa.mp3 (from Rossini's The Barber of Seville, London Symphony Orchestra, James Levine, EMI, 1975). Please buy Beverly Sills' recordings! Btw, she's also famous for her quotes, such as ' You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!' or 'A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment'. Well, we won't argue... TASTING - ANOTHER TWO OLD HIGHLAND PARKS Highland Park 1968/2003 (40.1%, Duncan Taylor for Becking, cask #9535, 106 bottles)
