air Nose
This really reminds me of the older green dumpy official Highland Parks from the late 1950s and early 60s vintages. It has this same kind of elegant herbal peat crossed with earthy and coastal aspects. Sheep wool, camphor, wet beach pebbles, heather honey, a distant farmyard and many sooty and oily complexities. Totally harmonious and beautiful. These lower abv old school Highland Parks had this sense of immense power gently flexing in the glass and you get that here in spades. More herbs and lemon rind with time
restaurant Palate
Majestic! Ridden with soft peats, coal dust, soot, waxes, mineral oil, dried herbs and earth. Also some assorted citrus peels, old ointment and a little sandalwood. Probably best to stop here
timer Finish
Long, harmonious and totally beautiful. Full of minerals, waxes, dry peat, soot and camphor. Also little glimmers of wildflowers and white fruits peeping through towards the end
