Tastes

Bright, clean, sweet. A bit hot but not bad for a 5 year.

Still my favorite

Not too mashy. Clean, smooth, fruit but not too sweet.

simple. fruity and vanilla. no finish whatsoever.

not bad but nothing special. raisins, vanilla, a swish of salty sea, burning melon finish. not worth ever drinking again.

it's ok....nose is harsh but I get the mash sweetness. taste is fruity, honey, middle eastern spices...wood...hot finish that is not as enjoyable. hints of creamy coffee lingers on my tongue after the burn. too harsh to find depth though, which is unfortunate.

no depth. some honey and fruit but empty and thin. bad finish with a lack of years and a tad too much heat.

hot upfront...vanilla, honey... exhale of honeysuckle flowers...orange blossom and cereal or malt. less salt and smoke than expected from the region. overall, a good one. bite sits on the back of the tongue as does an almost sweet tomato sauce breath.

one of the best Highlands I've ever tasted. the nose is vanilla, toffee, and peach. draws you in right away. tastes like melted vanilla ice cream, raisins, and pudding. a puff of smoke keeps you balanced. bites just enough at the end. well balanced, deep, rich, finish. I'd buy a bottle of this again to keep around for special occasions, or a nightly sipper in the rotation.
