Tasting Notes

straw
air Nose
very ‘Highland Park’! Hardly a surprise but this one is rather ‘chiselled’ so to speak, which makes a few main aromas really stand out. First, it’s rather smokier than the usual HP, with a fairly distinct peatiness. Then, we have some fresh mint (and maybe just a little aniseed), then these notes of heather honey and finally a very pleasant minerality (flints). All that on top of hints of grains and porridge. Gets more honeyed over time, with some, well, ‘honeyed’ sherry coming out. It reminds me a little of some much older bottlings. Anyway, very nice nose and no weakness despite the low strength
restaurant Palate
good attack, not big but not weak, rather more malty and nutty than on the nose. The sherry is also a tad more noticeable. Apple, toasted bread, a little toffee, a little coffee, cornflakes… Nice bitterness after that. Chlorophyll
timer Finish
medium long and quite dry, clean. Some liquorice and ‘green’ spices in the aftertaste – make that chlorophyll again
