Single Malt
Scotland
Sherry
A great introduction to Highland Park's famed heathery peat smoke, the 12 Year Old is matured predominantly in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, so it's spicy, citrusy, and full of smoky aromatics. This is part of the Orcadian distillery's impressive core range, which was treated to a smart new look in 2024.
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.
When I tried this at a tasting I didn't have huge hopes but those that I had were disappointed. Not really peaty, sweet, or that clean. Tastes much cheaper than it costs. Harsh and unrefined. There are much better blends!
Great whisky. And amazing value for the money. Looking forward to trying the 18
Highland Park is our sons favourite whiskey so nothing more need to be said!
I thought this was a lovely whisky. For me, an amateur when it comes to whisky it was a perfect drink. Beautiful.
A wonderful addition to the Highland Park family.
