A half-bottle of Highland Park 12 Year Old, a terrific single malt all the way from Orkney. With fresh citrus, thick honey, fragrant herbs and layers of aromatic smoke, it's fair to say that this one has a particularly full-bodied flavour profile that is well worth taking your time over. Not just a cracking dram by itself, it is also happens to pair rather well with food - crack out the charcuterie board and enjoy!
Fresh, clean and very aromatic. Floral notes abound the senses with a light grassiness. Notes of creamy Manuka honey and a touch of juicy citrus with cream and a well-balanced sweetness.
Rather full with a pleasant depth. Lurking somewhere in the substratum a grilled orange lies. Notes of granary toast and green tea with jasmine. A touch of sweetness.
Quite long with peppery spice and wood shavings.
It has been a favourite of mine for over 20 years. To me it is so smooth, a little smokey taste and not too peaty. Not a harsh whisky, like I said, very smooth.
I love Highland park so give it a go because I said so.
