Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
rather bold and extremely honeyed and heathery, as usual. Lots of nectar notes and quite some peat coming through (unusual at that level). Quite some sherry too and also some fine oaky notes. Rather complex and surely full bodied extremely honeyed and waxy again, developing on oak, aspirin and gin. Quite bizarre! Gets then more and more herbal and dry powerful and very, very fruity instead of the usual honeyed notes. Lots of vivacity, with some grapefruit skin, orange, tangerine, getting then very chocolaty. Not too complex, in fact, but very, very enjoyable
restaurant Palate
starts rather drier than the current version, but with lots of oomph. Strikingly saltier as well. Complex development, with some notes of seawater, wood, smoke, and still quite some sweetness, the whole being perfectly balanced. The finish is bold and long, on honey, smoke and salt. A great classic. 90 points . Highland Park 26 yo (44.6%, Adelphi, cask #3900) sweeter and more rounded at first nosing (good news), getting more and more powerful and even a bit prickly and very peppery. Some fruity notes coming through, finally. Quite nice but still a little too dry altogether for my tastes. 84 points . Highland Park 18 yo 1984/2003 (56.1%, Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 4.96) bold, compact and balanced at the same time. The attack is quite peppery, with also lots of cooked fruits and jams. It then gets nicely bitter (lemon peel). In short, it’s not too complex but still very satisfying. 87 points . SHOPPING: Great news! We can now take some peated baths without being obliged to pour a dozen bottles of Ardbeg 10 yo into our jacuzzis or hot tubs. As healthegoods.com explains: ' Now you can enjoy the benefits of peat in your jetted tub. There is no risk of clogging the jets as it is only liquid. The beneficial aspects of peat are extracted, concentrated and placed in a handy container. Also great for those who do not want the natural muddy peat in their bath. Moor Peat Extract is excellent for quick body wraps. Little mess, quick application and easy to apply. Benefits of Moor Peat Extract: • great for jetted tubs • body wraps • great for those who do not want muddy peat on them • relaxing • nutritive properties: contains minerals, trace elements, humic acids, enzymes, plant oils and other nutrients beneficial to the skin. ' Moor Bath has a molasses-like consistency and comes at $37.95 a bottle. They also sell another 'liquid' they call ' Baleno Peat ' (maybe it's rather 'Balneo', eh?) that comes from the Czech Republic and that's supposed to cure: 'Scoliosis • Post-workout
