15 year old single malt from Orkney's Highland Park Distillery, which was re-released in 2016. Dig in to waves of coastal smoke and Sherried peels, with a good core of barley to follow it up.
Orange and lemon peels, joined by sea breeze and vanilla custard.
Smoke begins light and coastal, develops throughout with a hint of well-toasted malt. Sultanas and redcurrants sit beneath it.
Long-lasting smoky elements.
A bit smoky and quite sweet, it is flowery on the palate. I'm not sure if it's worth the jump from the 12. It is a little smoother. But 25.00 or so smoother? I think no. I bought this a few month's ago and am a about 1/2 through the bottle. It opened up quite a bit. It is delicious, don't get me wrong. I'll stick with the HP 12 until their marketing associates come back to Earth. 3.5 due to the price.
