Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 깃든 깊은 호박빛이 잔 속에서 그윽하게 빛난다. 잔을 기울이면 오크니 증류소 하이랜드 파크 특유의 헤더 꿀과 은은한 훈연, 말린 과일의 향이 우아하게 번진다. 한 모금에는 53도의 힘이 단단하게 받치는 가운데 꿀과 오렌지, 옅은 피트 스모크가 입안에 퍼진다. 1977년이라는 시간이 빚어낸 깊은 균형 속에 헤더와 훈연의 여운이 길고 그윽하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
strong and spirity, with again these fresh almonds right from the start, but also some nail varnish. Gets very herbal, grassy, with some notes of fresh parsley… And again something chemical (varnish, glue) and some apple vinegar. Not completely unbalanced in fact, but rather hard to enjoy. Now, with a few drops of water: the ‘chemical’ notes do vanish, but the malt gets even more herbal and rather yeasty, with again some notes of rubbed orange skin. Not too bad, in fact, but that’s not what I would call ‘pleasure’
restaurant Palate
(neat) punchy, almost pungent, but more enjoyable than its lighter brothers. Lots of grapefruit, lemon… Also a strange metallic taste, iron… And then it gets quite salty. What kind of reaction is that? Anyway, it’s not as bitter as the other ones, good news! With water: ah, yes, this is more like it. Lots of citrusy notes, passion fruit, kiwi… Some icing sugar… And also quite some pepper, parsley, ginger. Quite austere but I like it. Long finish but with a heavy metallic taste (and grapefruit juice). At least, this one is interesting. 80 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: let's all remember the great Rory Gallagher , and listen to Ghost blues.mp3 . Please buy Rory Gallagher's music.
