Highland Park 25 Year

Fantastically smooth, just the right amount of smokey and rich

Wow. The HP 25 really is a sherry bomb! Can’t taste any peat here but the heather aroma distinguishes this from a Highland whisky. Super rich, refined with a long finish. Best whisky I’ve ever had. The HP and Yamazaki 18 were my favorites so far but this one beats them with elegance and style. 98 points.

Nose: Salted chocolate, aggressive, powerful, cherry, vanilla, heather. Just a magnificent nose Palate: Salted caramel, vanilla, smoke, some toffee, just the best possible kind of "sweet". Finish: Balanced and long chocolate/peanut butter combination. Gets spiky at the very end. It's a fitting end to this whisky-drinking "experience" Summary: Next level in every way. I didn't know a drinking a beverage could ever produce an experience like this. It's a truly masterful achievement. Score: 9.7/10
