Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 최북단 오크니 섬의 거센 바닷바람과 헤더 들판이 하이랜드 파크를 빚는다. 1966년 원액을 38년 숙성한 이 희귀한 보틀링은 잔에서 깊은 황금빛을 낸다. 오랜 세월이 빚은 헤더 꿀과 잘 익은 과일, 옅은 훈연 향이 우아하게 열린다. 42.4도의 부드러운 도수에서 꿀과 오렌지, 은은한 스모크가 입안을 둥글게 감싼다. 여운은 헤더의 단맛과 옅은 연기로 길고 우아하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw. First nosing: quite sharp! It’s very sulphury right at the start, not far from H2S, I’m afraid. Then I got some hot milk, porridge, yeast, and some whiffs of rubber band. Some rather heavy burnt sugar. Not repulsive but way too ‘yeasty’ for my tastes
restaurant Palate
quite creamy, with some sherry and some honey. It develops on orange marmalade, with some notes of ginger tonic and infused tealeaves. Hints of candy sugar, with lots of crystallised orange towards the finish. Globally, the palate is bold and satisfying, most enjoyable. Too bad the nose is so sulphury, but the great mouth makes it worth 82 points in my book. MUSIC – Recommended listening: she's an excellent 'smoky slide guitar' player and singer! Natalia Zukerman from NYC does a groovy and elegant Fool's gold - mp3 . Good, eh? Please buy her music... WHISKY AND MUSIC - My old friend Paul Adam loves both whisky and music, especially Serge Gainsbourg's. That's why he did let his bar being personalized with one of Gainsbourg's most famous profiles, sand-blasted on the glass. Would that work with Janet Jackson too?
