Tasting Notes
"The Highland Park Magnus displays delicate citrus notes, mainly lemon peel and orange syrup, on the nose. The classic heather notes are here, as well as vanilla and honey. While the nose doesn't give us much in terms of smoke, the palate has a more distinctive peatiness, which is accompanied by a sugary sweetness, as well as fudge and caramel. The finish is fairly dry with a spicy touch. Pleasant, but not overly complex."
