Tastes

Excellent. Considering the price I'd probably go with the Aberlour A'bunadh which is very similar. But both are excellent.

Really nice Irish. Creamy, with a nice vanilla, butterscotch flavour.

Not bad for the price, but it's pretty unremarkable otherwise.

Super sweet, lots of toffee flavour. Vanilla and butter.

A lot of people avoid a blended whiskey, which is fair. This is the exception. This is a master example of a great blended whiskey. Just try it.

Really nice summer sipper. An ice cube really opens it up. Very floral with a lemon and honey flavour. You have to appreciate this is something completely different in whiskey. Not added flavouring, but quite literally infusing it with floral flavours. It is what it is, and they did it well. I'd like to see more of these.

Holy cow. This is a hidden gem! Very dark. Dark chocolate and vanilla. Lots of brown sugar. I'd buy 10 of these if I could get any more.

Pretty good for the price. Fairly smokey, but a well balanced smoke. Not particularly full or rich. Definitely picking up vanilla and fruit, but I can't pick out individual fruit flavours. Quite a long pleasant finish.

At first I thought it was pretty harsh, but just left in the glass and it mellows out a lot. Great flavour. Vanilla, apple, and butterscotch.

Really nice offering from Highland Park. Like the 12, but a bit more smokey and much sweeter. Lots of fruit there too.
