Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

characterised by the proverbial heather honey, accompanied by a beautifully effective coastal smoke. It brings to mind a campfire on a beach. There were rumours that while the distillery malted its own barley, which it still does to some extent, it would throw handfuls of heather into the kiln, but we have never had written proof of this practice. Nevertheless, this nose has remained magnificent, with added touches of old copper coins, or an antique kettle if you prefer

restaurant Palate

vegetal notes, leather, dead leaves join the mix, with a bit of bitterness, chlorophyll, bitter almonds, old white Burgundy wine... It's a sign of a certain evolution in the bottle, with heather honey that has over the years turned rather into mead. But of course, it remains absolutely excellent

timer Finish

medium length, still a bit vegetal for Highland Park, but without a 'taste of light'. An excellent orange marmalade then completes the picture
