Highland Park Magnus

Light, sweet, with a tinge of butter. An easy drinker.

Easy to drink smoky fruits dusted in cinnamon with a bit of vanilla in the finish.

Lackluster and spirit-defeating. I taste only leather and dry smoke. No sherry. Kinda thin. Disappointing. I flew into this with techno viking energy but now i feel like my bike tire is flat and all my friends are riding off without me.

Picked up a couple of bottles on clearance for $14.99(!!!). For that price I give this a 6 out of 5. It’s really friendly, light peat, light citrus, nice sweetness and vanilla. A bit watery for my liking, but compared to just about every 40% scotch I’ve tried this is one of the better ones. Not much else to say about it. 43-46% and it would be at least a 4 out of 5.

Tasting date 4/26/2021 from Sample Overall impression and score= Meh! Why bother making such an inferior whisky. Just hurts the brand! Glad I just bought a sample to try.
