Tasting Notes
Colour
just golden
air Nose
it instantly reminds me of the 1967s, of the old John-Goodwin bottle, and of a beehive that you would open for the first time in the spring. Honey is HP's main marker, and believe me, there is a lot of honeys in there, heather of course, lime blossom too, meadow all-flower, plus bags of pollen. All that is just life. Bees are life. Have you ever seen bees flying close to the ground like fighter jets on the windy Scottish islands? It's incredible to observe and the nose of this fifty-four-year-old Highland Park is incredible too
restaurant Palate
there is a warm, honeyed sweetness to start with, followed by notes of old Sauternes and nectar of the gods (mead is the drink of the gods on Mount Olympus), a bit of crème brûlée and tarte Tatin, some notes of old wood and mint, very ripe apples, touches of oriental pastries... All of this is somewhat fragile and delicate, a bit like an ancient Baccarat crystal chandelier. One must not jostle or handle it roughly
timer Finish
not very long but very nicely mentholated. Still a bit of mead and old Sauternes, and very ripe figs right at the end
