Tasting Notes

air Nose
a very natural, almost ‘naked’ Highland Park, without any sherry influence but with big flinty and grassy notes at first nosing, then more yellow flowers, light honey, sour apple juice and just a little lemon. There’s quite some smoke as well, as well as a little rubber (new tyres). Hints of bacon and liquorice. With water: gets a tad farmier as often, rather smokier as well, with added whiffs of menthol. Funny how it goes back to raw barley after a moment – natural indeed
restaurant Palate
sweet, nervous, citrusy, playful, very fresh. A wee touch of paraffin, almond oil. Then quite some grapefruits and that faint smokiness that’s often to be found in ‘natural’ HPs. Butter pears. A tad austere but very good. With water: perfect ‘natural’ HP indeed (we insist! as Max Roach would say), with more honey and beautiful notes of tangerines, orange zests, wax, vanilla and fresh almonds
timer Finish
long, a tad bitterer now (grapefruits, lemon zests, green tea). Clean, slightly resinous aftertaste
