Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

rather fragrant at first nosing, a typical un-sherried Highland Park that smells much younger than 16yo. Whiffs of smoke and quite some flowers, apples and pears, something resinous, marzipan, hints of heather and wet stone… Gets then a little grainy and mashy, on porridge and mashed potatoes… The whole is rather nice but again, seems to lack a little ageing

restaurant Palate

very sweet, with a nice mouth feel. Quite some pink pineapple, fresh walnuts, quince jelly. Gets quite waxy and even resinous. Goes on with apple pie, acacia honey, fresh almonds… I like this palate much better than the nose, in fact. Almost excellent, a very good surprise! And the finish is long, compact, extremely well balanced, on orange marmalade and wax. Again, a great palate. Too bad there was only 30 bottles. 87 points . Highland Park 15 yo 1990/2005 (46%, The Alchemist)
