Nose
Fresh toast, spread with Nutella. Palate
Firm, smooth. Sweet, sherryish. Juicy oak. Salt. Finish
Salt. Wind-blown heather. Comment
I like the richness but lacks the balance, roundness and complexity of a great Highland Park.
Jim Murray
Nose
Lashings of sweet honey and nectar and some drier heather and oak. Sublime. Palate
Rich in toffee apples, melt-in-the-mouth malt. Finish
Long, Slightly waxy but big oak pressure. Comment
One of the least smoky renditions you are likely to find, compensated by the honey presence.
