Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 하이랜드 파크 특유의 헤더 꿀과 가벼운 피트 연기가 명확하게 드러난다. 1970년 증류해 35년을 보낸 만큼 향은 원숙한 깊이로 발전한다. 팰럿은 말린 과일과 꿀, 그을린 토탄이 40.3도의 부드러운 질감 위에 전개된다. 오크니 섬 증류소다운 절제된 훈연과 미네랄이 또렷이 드러난다. 피니시는 꿀과 가벼운 연기의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
peaty and grainy at the same time. A bit farmy and very yeasty. Notes of hot butter and mashed potatoes. Rather nice
restaurant Palate
very sweet and peaty at the same time, close to a new make but rather nice again. It obviously lacks a bit of ageing – it's raw and simple but enjoyable. I tasted the two bottlings by the Whiskyfair but I couldn’t take any notes. I think they were a little better than this one. 78 points for this curiosity. MUSIC – Recommended listening: Belgian singer An Pierlé has got her very own universe... I saw her live at the Eurockéennes in Belfort last year - she was playing with a symphonic orchestra. I quite like her work, although it's certainly an acquired taste. You can have a listen to As sudden tears fall - mp3 (live). Pretty interesting, don't you think? Please buy An Pierlé's music if you like it. (via Planet Claire - photo Chantal Boogers) May 3, 2005 TASTING - TWO HIGHLAND PARKS Highland park 1970/1995 (40%, Gordon & MacPhail Centenary Reserve) The nose starts very nicely: creamy, rounded, with quite some flower nectar and light honey. Alas, it’s soon to get a bit dusty and rather weak, with just some notes of hot cake. Not too bad but lacking a lot of oomph rather delicate but getting sugarish, and perhaps a little too grassy. The wood takes then control, making the whisky a little bitter and dusty. This one really lacks body. Too bad… 78 points . Highland Park 1974/1998 ‘Online Tasting’ (57.6%, OB, 228 bottles) Ah, the roaring nineties and the IT bubble! Already quite dusty, eh?
