Highland Park
18 Year Old Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Category: Island Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:
Country: Scotland
Alcohol: 43%
Light golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of grilled plum and spiced apricot, vanilla toffee and bread pudding, warm buttered biscuits with all spice over a wood fire, and cinnamon roasted chestnut and walnut with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-long finish evoking notes of sticky toffee pudding and figs baked over a peat fire, sweet heather honey, roasted nuts, all spice, vanilla, and and smoky leather. This tastes like home and what we will probably be sipping on until the day we die; red fruit, orchard fruit, baking spices, and rich, leathery, earthy smoke all incredibly well crafted and representing happiness in a bottle.
