Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 하이랜드 파크 특유의 가벼운 피트와 헤더 꿀이 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 8년의 비교적 짧은 숙성 기간에도 오크니 섬 캐릭터가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 1990년대 초 고든 앤 맥페일이 보틀링한 스코치 몰트 위스키 시리즈답게 캐스크 영향이 절제되었다. 한 모금 머금으면 보리와 풋과일, 살짝의 훈연이 발전하며 균형이 단단하다. 피니시는 단맛과 짭조름함이 긴 호흡으로 이어지며 어린 위스키의 활기를 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s more massive, it’s fuller, more compact, less subtle, and yet superb. Rubber bands, new car, roasted chestnuts, earthy tea (pu-her and such), old marmalades, Spanish ham (belotta stuff), old embrocations and ointments (who knows what they used to put into those things)… and then, as often with the older bottles, more pine-y notes, saps, resins, camphor… With water: sit and listen to this whisky. Not that the story will always be the same, mind you
restaurant Palate
totally a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Huge mentholness, immense sappy side (fir liqueur), all dried fruits anyone could think of (starting with figs, as almost always), and then a total maelstrom of tiny spicy flavours. Caraway seems to be fly amongst them, as well as pink pepper. Careful, these ones will almost always dominate you, there isn’t much you could do against that. With water: they get Asian. Sauces, chutneys, creams, spicy stuff…
timer Finish
I’m reminded of some old Cuban cigars they used to make when the Russians were still delivering ‘what was needed’ to make them. No, not drugs
