Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a deep and unctuous old school sherry, wonderfully textural impressions of leather, saltiness, umami paste, game meats, natural tar and exotic hardwood resins. Hugely scented, weighty and extremely classy stuff! With time these aromas of game meats, treacle and salty dark chocolate become more pronounced and distinctive. Gorgeous nose! With water: mint, eucalyptus, menthol tobacco, cherry scented cough medicines, exotic hardwood resins and lapsing souchong tea. Keeps developing layers of complexity and many tiny wee aromas
restaurant Palate
hugely syrupy arrival. Meaty, perfectly herbal, bitter, salty, rather a lot of salted almonds and toasted walnuts, green walnut liqueur and natural tar resins. Perfectly extractive, perfectly meaty and just brilliantly textural and fat in the mouth. There's also this undercurrent of herbal, resinous peat and syrupy medicines which is textbook old school Highland Park. With water: outstanding! We may have to call the anti-maltoporn brigade (it's been a while, have they changed numbers?), a perfect collision of bitterness, umami, salinity and gorgeous flavours of meats, walnuts, coffees, chocolates and spices
timer Finish
long, herbal, perfectly bitter, saline, spicy, salted Dutch liquorice, natural tar, herbal medicines and more of this resinous HP peat flavour
