Arthur Motley
75- Nose
- Burnt orange and vanilla.
- Palate
- Rounded, with soft fruits, burnt toast and sherry cask maturation in evidence.
- Finish
- Dry leaves and woodsmoke.
- Comment
- Pleasant but undramatic. I was a little disappointed to find out it was Highland Park… surely we can do better than this?
Owen Barstow
72- Nose
- Malty, nutty, biscuity, mixed dried fruit (apricots?). Some creamy toffee and the faintest whiff of smoke.
- Palate
- More dried fruit – tea loaf? Sweet and bitter. Vaguely winey, too.
- Finish
- On the short side and somewhat tannic. Oxidisation? Faint smoke?
- Comment
- I find Port and even Madeira characteristics here. Complex enough, but probably not to everyone's liking.
