Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
starts bizarrely porridgy, milky and mashy, with certain grassiness and quite some apple compote but none of the very pleasant honeyed and flowery notes. Let’s see if water improves it: it brings out hints of celery and aniseed, fennel, apple skin, walnut skin, but the porridgy notes are still here. Hard to know why they bottled this one in these series…
restaurant Palate
bold and powerful but also immature, overly fruity (like a tutti-frutti spirit) and again quite mashy (strawberry-flavoured yoghurt). A little bubblegum as well. With water: it’s closer to the core range 12 yo now but without the faintest smokiness. The finish is rather long but very sweet, fruity, almost sugary… Well, I think this one’s just uninteresting but I wouldn’t go as far as some ‘colleagues’ who really hated it. 78 points . Highland Park 35 yo 1968/2003 (51.2%, OB, cask #2277, 546 bottles)
