Highland Park 12 Year

Nose - mild peat smoke, salted caramel, pineapple, mild tequila with lots of lime, musty grass, juicy fruit that only just began to spoil. Taste - sweet, mild smoke, toffee, coffee, floral, grape jelly, peanut, plum, sherry casks definitely present themselves, finishing clean and slightly sweet with a hint of pipe tobacco. After trying this a few times, I’m raising my rating. This is a delicious scotch. Really looking forward to trying the 18 year.

I expected to like this more than I did. It was alright, but this smokey highland was a tad odd for my palate.

Smokey with hits of honey and vanilla

Nose: sweet and slight smoke with honey Taste: Smokey and rich, a little salty and sweet Finish: moderate and warm
