Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1970년 하이랜드 파크의 헤더 꿀과 옅은 훈연이 또렷하게 두드러진다. 오크니 섬 증류소답게 잘 익은 과일과 흙내음 같은 피트가 명확하게 드러난다. 52도의 입질에서는 꿀과 마른 과일, 부드러운 스모크가 균형 있게 깔린다. 중반으로 갈수록 헤더 꿀의 단맛과 향신료의 결이 또렷해진다. 섬 증류소다운 단단한 구조감 속에, 피니시는 헤더 꿀과 옅은 훈연이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
more discrete than the three previous ones, kind of restrained, less emphatic but maybe even more complex behind the scenes. The smokiness gets bigger after a few seconds, the minerality as well, a faint meatiness (Jabugo). A wee dustiness (flour). With water: more chalky/dusty notes and even something slightly metallic, almost assets to the whisky in fact. On the other hand, there are also wonderful whiffs of moss, wild carrots, dill and fir honey (or honeydew)
restaurant Palate
punchy but very complex right from the start, with everything that was in the others but also added notes of fresh mushrooms, herbs and something very funny that the trendy chefs over here tend to add to any dish just now: borage flowers. Ha, fashion cooking! With water: oh, a copy of the 1973! How did they do that twennyone years ago?
timer Finish
perfect. As often, +/-20 years in wood plus +/-20 years in glass make for perfect malts
