Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
quite powerful, flowery and fruity (apple, pears, fresh pineapple) at the same time. Nice and lively, showing little cask influence. It then gets quite yeasty, with some cooked yoghurt and porridge, before the fruity notes come back with some gooseberries and white currant. Some light perfumy notes and also whiffs of varnish. Rather fresh, lively and enjoyable
restaurant Palate
fruity attack, the alcohol being rather discreet. Develops on some heavy citrusy notes, not unlike some Lowlanders. Lots of lemon peel and seeds, green vegetables, herbal tea… Quite herbal indeed, with a rather nice sharpness – and also an enjoyable bitterness, provided you’re into this kind of very ‘natural’ whiskies. Rather long, lemony finish. I like this profile, provided there’s some balance. This time it’s the case. 87 points . Highland Park 18 yo 1960/1978 (43%, OB, ‘James Grant green dumpy’)
