Highland Park 12 Year

I could actually smell Heads. Maybe it was not so good patch.

Aside from the sherry and peat, there's also a strange muskiness on the nose and palate (similar to what I'd found in the Macallan 12). It's what I'd imagine an old & tired barrel to taste like, but don't let that deter you. It's still great value for money and the tantalizing sweetness makes up for its shortcomings.
