Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 어린다. 오크니 섬 하이랜드 파크가 1987년에 증류해 28년을 묵힌 이 위스키는 하이랜드 파크답게 향에서 히스 꿀과 옅은 스모크, 말린 과실이 어우러져 올라온다. 47.7도의 입안에서는 꿀과 정향, 가벼운 훈연 향이 매끈한 질감으로 흐르며 오크니 특유의 균형 잡힌 결이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 긴 숙성이 결을 둥글게 다듬는다. 여운은 히스 꿀과 옅은 스모크가 길게 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
it’s wonderful to be able to check what ten further years in a regular cask (hogshead type) do to a distillate that’s otherwise very similar. In this case, we rather get more tiny herbs and mints. Genepy, gentian, peppermint, spearmint. Also some precious blue/green tea, a little linseed oil, perhaps a drop of turpentine (a true painter’s whisky), and once again a little chalk. This nose is just perfect, my friend
restaurant Palate
top notch indeed, despite, or perhaps because of a whacky touch of yeasty cheese. Then passion fruits, more damp chalk, wormwood, cough syrup, those citrons, this Montrachety (!?) side, mint… What a palate! The oak’s maybe a little loud at times, but if you like pinesap as much as I do, you’ll just love it. Miles Davis was loud too (what?)
timer Finish
long, on the very same notes, plus some greenish liquorice and perhaps a touch of bacon
