Tasting Notes by Michael Jackson

Nose	Warm, notably flowery. Heather-honey, fresh oak, sap, peat, smoky fragrance. Very aromatic and appetising.

Palate

Remarkably smooth, firm, rounded. Lightly salty. Leafy (vine leaves ?), pine nuts. Lots of flavour development,: nuts, honey, cinnamon, dryish ginger.

Finish

Spicy, very dry, oak, smoky, hot.

Comment

If I smoked, I would have a cigar with this one.

 

Tasting Notes by Jim Murray

Nose	An empty honey jar which once held peaty embers. An enormous nose. Fabulous.

Palate

Beautifully sweet: even sweeter then the 12-year-old, with peat on the back of the palate.

Finish

Still peaty and now a little oaky. Cocoa and toffee cream add complexity.

Comment

This has to be my favourite Highland Park of them all, and each new sample underlines the consistency of this distillery. Brilliant.
