Highland Park 10 Year

Uses mostly Spanish oak. Using 2 cask types - American and Spanish. Made exclusively for canada initially. A high concentration is 15years and above. Pale gold in colour. Nose: vanilla, beads showing good viscosity. Citrus notes - some of the smokies highland park - older it gets the less smoke/peat. Peat is mixed with heather which gives honey sweetness. Trademark of highland park. Palate: Finish: sweet, honey - dark chocolate. Woody. Side of toubge is spicy like ginger. Tip of tongue brings sweetness. Body 2/4 - light

Great dram. Butterscotch, honey and vanilla on the nose. A bit of citrus, honey, almonds and a hint of smoke on the palate. Really enjoyable.

The taste profile is similar to the HP 12, but lacks the depth of the 12. But still a darn good whisky!
