Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
youthful, pure and really rather peaty. It is indeed rather petrolic, with lots of brine, seawater, antiseptic, malt vinegar and medicines. There's also this impression of oiliness and textural weight about the distillate. Pretty superb! With water: opens up on a whole spectrum of various peat and medicine aromas. Bandages, gauze, mouthwash, aspirin, bonfire embers, tar, seawater and mercurochrome
restaurant Palate
purity is the word! Huge arrival, all on white hot peat embers, natural tar extracts, seawater, pink grapefruit, preserved lemons, lanolin and herbal cough medicines. Raw, naked and brilliant distillate; bare bones Highland Park in all its glory. With water: chunky, chewy raw peat. Camphor, tar, iodine, TCP and creosote. Also brilliantly oily in texture
timer Finish
long, smoked olive oil, tar, pickling brine, camphor and hessian again. Also these herbal qualities in the aftertaste that seem always to be a hallmark of older style HP
