Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 하이랜드 파크 특유의 헤더 꿀과 버번 호그스헤드에서 온 바닐라, 가벼운 훈연 향이 섬세하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 33년 숙성이 만든 우아한 질감 위로 52.3도의 도수가 잘 익은 과일, 꿀, 은은한 피트를 단단한 구조감으로 발전시킨다. 오크니 증류소다운 헤더 피트가 깊이를 더한다. 피니시는 향긋한 꿀과 가벼운 그을음, 오크 향신료가 길게 이어지며, 30년 이상 숙성의 균형이 또렷하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
that was to be expected, and maybe that’s why I haven’t tried this baby before – unconsciously, of course. It’s absolutely lovely. Eucalyptus and grapefruits, coal smoke and beeswax, honey and green bananas, leather polish and not-too-ripe guavas… Everything’s just absolutely perfect. With water: patchouli, old leather (old horse saddle), dried flowers… In short, old aromas that are slowly disappearing from any ‘modern’ vanilla-ridden Scotch
restaurant Palate
massive, yet supremely elegant. Punches you a bit while it arrives, with rocky flavours and quite some green cardamom and green lemon, but this fat-yet-elegant grassiness just works. I used to call this style ‘cactussy’. It’s rather less fruity and easy than the Swiss 1985, but this austere assertiveness (what?) just clicks. With water: milder and more honeyed. Baklavas and citron liqueur
timer Finish
medium, fruitier, citrusy, elegant. Leaves your mouth fresh
