Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale straw
air Nose
starts very fresh and very herbal, almost minty, with also more smoke than what we’re used to and even a slightly medicinal side (antiseptic). Develops more on ‘clean’ porridge after that, yoghurt, wet grass... Wilder than most officials and really super-clean – and definitely heathery
restaurant Palate
a sweet, fruity and slightly resinous attack, maybe less remarkable than the nose. The peat stands out, that is, as so does the grassiness. Gets spicier after that, with quite some pepper and, well, mostly pepper. Also kind of a bitter dryness (green apple peelings)
timer Finish
rather long, more lemony now and still quite grassy and peppery. Not a Highland Park de salon, as they say, it was probably a good idea not to keep this one at cask strength. 84 points. Highland Park 21 yo 1986/2007 (56.6%, Duncan Taylor, cask #2251, 333 bottles)
