Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 은은한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 느리게 회전한다. 코를 가져가면 헤더 꿀과 옅은 훈연, 마른 오렌지 껍질이 차례로 피어오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 59도의 높은 도수가 혀끝을 또렷이 자극하면서 보리 단맛과 가벼운 피트 연기가 균형을 잡는다. 리필 아메리칸 호그스헤드에서 27년을 보낸 하이랜드 파크는 오크니 섬 증류소답게 꿀과 연기를 한 잔에 단단히 엮어낸다. 삼키고 나면 달콤한 훈연이 입안에 오래 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
extremely pure and fresh showing a rather lean and mineral sherry with plenty leather, wet leaves, smoked teas and chocolate. Olive oil, hessian, natural tar and shoe polish as well. Clean and beautifully precise. With water: bitter lemon, wintergreen, matcha and lots of dense sooty and heavy mineral qualities
restaurant Palate
superb and huge arrival. Concentrated, syrupy and salty old school sherry. Lots of game meats, tar, herbal bitters, cough medicines, embrocations, leaf mulch and bitter cocoa. Some flint smoke and these wonderfully resinous flavours of precious hardwoods. Getting slightly jammy with red fruit preserves too. With water: now the peat comes through more clearly and with a very definite peppery edge. Black pepper, natural tar, ointments, vapour rubs, camphor, hessian and more smoked tea and dried herbs
timer Finish
long, tarry, deeply warming, peppery, lightly medical and with this lovely lingering gentle peatiness
