Give this one some time
This second release really benefits from letting it sit for a few days after opening. Initially, I got mostly cinnamon over a faint amount of the regular HP heather signature. Adding water just toned it all down. Now after 5 days, the nose and flavors are much more interesting. Lots of fruity sherry, some barrel char and a bit of that HP heather. A good splash of water now opens it up very nicely. Given a little time, this has developed into a very worthy expression of Highland Park.

A superb buy from a superb distillery.
Bought this for my father - just as a wee gift. He says it is sublime - and one to be savoured. I would say it is worth every penny given his enjoyment of it.

Protection for covid or just a very nice whisky?
Spent the last 20 days living in this same house with my son and then my wife with covid omicron. Gargled 30 seconds each evening it’s this delicious but strong cask strength neat whisky and despite sleeping in the same bed as my wife and not distancing I have not been infected. Now I’m triple vaccinated and don’t know if this killed covid but I have enjoyed drinking it each night and believe it probably helped. As a whisky it’s great.

Christmas cake, touch of smoke. Could nose this all day. Like the the dude below says, flavours match the strength. Well done, Highland Park.

A truly superlative dram
Slightly less peated than HP12 but packs a huge punch. Everything is more dramatic and the flavours more than match the bumped up ABV. One of my absolute favourites.
