An altogether smokier-than-normal addition to the Highland Park range, Dragon Legend shows off their peaty elements cleanly and clearly, alongside sweeter hints from the sherry-cask-matured portion of the expression.
Cut grass, roasted vanilla pod and a hint of mulled wine.
A robust core of heather-y, earthy smoke arrive straight away, with peppercorn, mince pie and oily malt in tow.
Notes of dried citrus and toasted barley linger, but the finish doesn't drag on too long (get it?).

Definitely smokier than usual from Highland Park, but stays smooth, not firey like some peated whiskies.
A decent dram but unremarkable. I tried it when it was on offer for £28, but I doubt I'd pay the full £40 for it, as there are much better whiskies available at that price.
I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. When it arrived, the box and bottle looked stylish and made me feel as if the drink was a luxurious item that I needed to savour. I'm not a great whisky drinker, but I found this to be a really smooth smoky flavour. It smells amazing and the smokiness and vanilla really came through. I was rather disappointed that the flavour didn't last as an aftertaste, which made me just want to drink more.
