90
- Nose
- Sweet tobacco. Scented: sandalwood, walnuts.
- Palate
- Sultanas, lemons, vanilla, butterscotch, toasted almonds. Very restrained sweetness.
- Finish
- Long and soothing. Late hint of spicy, heathery smoke.
- Comment
- Some drinkers might perfer this great whisky slightly younger and fresher. Those who like a touch of oak will find this very elegant.
70
- Nose
- Powering bourbon sweetness. Lashings of oak and vanilla with liquorice and plummy fruit. Tired, but hanging on.
- Palate
- Creamy and spicy with a large smoky, oaky background. Just enough honey comes through to give a Highland Park signature.
- Finish
- Dry, chalky and some late sensuous peat lift this from a weary start. Lovely salty sea tang lingers, too.
- Comment
- This would never have survived another summer. Impressive brinkmanship, though still over-aged.
