Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오크니 제도의 거센 바닷바람과 헤더 피트가 하이랜드 파크의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 1989년 증류해 29년을 보낸 이 위스키는 잔에 짙은 호박빛을 드리운다. 코에는 말린 과일과 훈연한 헤더, 옅은 바다 내음이 어우러진다. 리필 셰리 버트가 더한 입안은 꿀에 잰 자두와 은은한 피트, 향신료가 묵직하게 자리 잡는다. 57도의 힘이 마무리까지 이어지며 스모키한 단맛이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
nice, just a tad leathery, with cigar boxes and touches of cured ham. And the obligatory heather honey, naturally. With water: the minerality’s coming out. Chalk and clay, plus bigger, obvious notes of bergamots. Please try the Bergamotes de Nancy whenever you’ve got a chance! (I won’t say it again!)
restaurant Palate
textbook marmalade-y HP, with many spices and even more dried fruits such as figs and dates. But once again, the distillate’s much less characterful that its modern counterparts, exactly what happened at, say, Bowmore as well. In my humble opinion. With water: loses a bit of knack, perhaps, which happens much more often with sherry casks than with bourbon or refill hogsheads when you add water. In my humble experience, as always
timer Finish
long, both more lemony and salty and more spicy. Ginger, curry, Thai basil… Lime in the aftertaste, all impeccable
