Highland Park 12 Year

Malt, sweet sherry, peat and touches of caramel. This is a great 12 yr old. Highland Park is pretty delicious and there are hidden fruit flavors in here that peak out as you drink it. Overall very nice.

This was my first single malt Scotch purchase and my first review. I was blown away by the difference from your standard entry-level blended Scotches and a seasoned single malt. It had a pleasing nose with a rich, creamy caramel palate. The finish just kept developing with a nice but not overpowering peaty coat. A drop or two of water opened it up nicely!

This is an excellent peated Scotch - rich, full, pleasant, luxurious and smoky. This deserves a higher score on here - this is a flat out excellent whiskey. This is what smoky Scotch should taste like. Follow up 10-22-2015 - grabbed a bottle of this last night as my local store has it on sale $8 off - this last bottle falls well below my normal expectations with this stuff. Very flat this time, with even a somewhat unpleasant, dirty smell to it. Hoping I just got a random bad bottle, as this had previously been one of my favorites. I'll leave the 5 star review, for now.
