Tasting Notes

Colour

dark straw

air Nose

impeccable and implacable young clean straightforward Highland Park with all its attributes. Not many distilleries can do that, I’d say. The spirit’s natural complexity and ‘wideness’ shine through, with lemon, peat (it really comes though here), linseed oil, wax, minerals, sea air, oranges, almonds and then some funny balsamic/herbal touches. And some parsley?

restaurant Palate

more Highlander than the most Highlander Highlanders and even if it’s not punchy, this crisp, zesty, coastal and mineral profile makes wonders. Good, I agree it tends to lose steam after quite some seconds but then we have a very pleasant salty/almondy feeling as well as a little crème brulée

timer Finish

shortish, that’s true. Almonds and a little olive oil and honey. Salty aftertaste
