Words of Whisky (83)

:

Nose: Opens up on caramel-glazed apples and vanilla, but also touches of floral honey. There’s a whiff of straw as well. A touch of dried apricots. I know Highland Park isn’t heavily peated, but I struggle to find any here.
Taste: Somewhat dry with subtle touches of smoke and soot, but also farmy and grassy. Whiffs of charred oak, ginger and chili pepper. Rather spicy, with just a wee bit of dried fruits.
Finish: Spicy and subtle smoke. Medium in length.

Score: 83

Veering towards a little too much spiciness on the palate, this is otherwise a quality Highland Park, but I don’t feel it delivers on its promise. How is this the richer, smokier side of Highland Park? Enough intricacies and body to keep most whisky drinkers interested though.
