Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
tutti-frutti eau-de-vie aged in quasi-inert wood, cassata dough, supermarket panettone (come?) and just various pastry doughs. Actually, this is very nice. With water: it's clearly Italian, with amaretti and limoncello. Good fun there
restaurant Palate
very good! Good fatness, this Highland-Parkness once more, herbs and leaves, a coastal smoke, and even straight peat and lemon. With water: wonderful! Polishes, mentholy teas, smokes, lemon marmalade, citron liqueur, chalk… It could be that those rather ugly decanters (but aren't all decanters a little ugly and vulgar anyway?) do work very well for secondary maturation (a.k.a. bottle aging). With this shape, they must be working like little stills…
timer Finish
rather long, very perfect, waxy, sweet, slightly honeyed, and indeed Highland-Parky. We really have to meet with that honourable warehouse manager from Highland Distillers' heyday…
