Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

fresher, lighter and more mineral, floral and ashy. Soon to get a little milky and mashy (porridge, yoghurt). I think the OMC is nicer. This one gets farmy after a moment, grassy (infused tealeaves), with quite some tannins and green tea. We have more peat after at the ‘end of the nose’

restaurant Palate

wilder, peatier than both 1972’s, more on herbs (thyme) and all kinds of burnt ‘stuff’. A little hot I must say. Goes on with walnut liqueur, orange marmalade and strong honey

timer Finish

long and very honeyed but a little indefinite, with hints of rubber… Well, maybe this one’s a little boring, like most ‘average’ old Highland Parks, but of course it’s very drinkable whisky. I liked the OMC a little better. 84 points . Highland Park 1959/1991 (57.6%, Gordon & MacPhail ‘Cask’, cask #598) From a mini, never saw this one as a full bottle, neither did Mr. HP (Olivier). - March 7 correction: a friend from the US has got some full bottles -
