Highland Park Harald

Not what i expected, a fair Highland Park expression, dim on the nose and nice on the palate but nothing to die for. Bottled at 40%abv, with a deep copper color. On the nose is very dim, unappealing, with a marked tobbacco note, with some other dim notes of caramel and the typical highland park peat. On the palate it is a lot better, starts with caramel, to change into that typical tobacco/dry brown grass note from highland park, oranges, a mild bitter oakyness, with a smoky, ashy, salty finish which is medium-long. Overall i give this dram an 82 over 100. Cheers!
