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.

Im not an educated whisky taster. I only recently started drinking whisky so still have a lot to try and learn. At the moment I try a whisky, I either like it or i dont. This whisky i do like, its easy to drink, no harshness. Could easily sit and enjoy whilst relaxing. Not a special occasion whisky, just a finished work, had a long day, feel like a dram. Great whisky for the price
In reading many of these "reviews" all I can do is shake my head. We all have our particular tastes and for many it is really great for some it tastes awful. I like it, it is a nice bottle for a low price. Is it as good as say a HP 18 or HP Dark 17 year old? No but it is also a fraction of the price. If you want better, spend more money. If you are fine with a nice bottle of scotch that satisfies this is a good bottle for that.
Tried one in an pub and decided never to buy a whole bottle and end it there. Fast forward a year or so and I have been gifted a bottle and found it more enjoyable as I get further through. Big blast of honey on the nose. It has to be the most pungent orange Ive had from a whisky and leads into peeper finishing with a pleasent sweetness. Sits very firmly at the £30 price tag, but this price does have stiff competition for entry level supermarket drams. Maybe try it if you see it on offer.
Mildly dissatisfied at first. It seemed to lack body of old and the honeyed, heathery nose felt a bit contrived. Took a few drams from the bottle over a couple of weeks and then came back to it. Much, much better. Rich and peppery with lovely caramelised orange fruit and a biscuit sweetness. Long on the palate too with oak, peat and smoke.
Rich, smokey flavour that isn't overpowering. Delicious drank neat, doesn't need a mixer.
