Highland Park Single Cask Series, "Germany"

Highland Park is famous for a lot of things, one of them is their "location releases". Those are usually single cask strength expressions, with geographic names like "London", "Amsterdam" or "Gotham City" (i am actually not kidding, google it). This review is for a Single Cask Strength called "Germany", bottled at 65.1%abv, 10yo, bottled in 2018, drawn from the cask No. 140, which was a first fill american oak sherry puncheon. One of only 618 bottles ever made. On the nose, this is quite good and powerful. Cigarrettes, ashes, prunes and dark chocolate. Apricots and leather. On the palate, i got only two notes, but well delivered. White chocolate and cherries. Aftertaste was a little too raw. Sulphuric amd metallic notes; cherries. Overall, this was a good whisky that didn't gave me too much complexity. I am actually a fan of Highland Park, and i love cask strength whiskies, but i havent fully enjoyed any of Highland Park Cask Strength expressions. I don't know what it is but i am unimpressed. This is still an above average dram, my score for it is 84 over 100.
