By now, I have been lucky enough to sample some expressions of the Highland Park family. The label of this 16-year-old whisky claims that it is uncoloured, but does not indicate whether it is chill filtered or not.
Nose - The nose has many layers and has elements that are usually found in a bourbon. It contains notes of brown sugar, vanilla pods, forest honey, salted butter, sherry, and in the background the slightest bit of peat.
Palate - The palate is rich and full of flavour, without being overpowering. The main flavours are salty and spicy, with a distinct malt note.
Finish - Like a gentle sea breeze, with notes of sea salt, apple cider and cinnamon. The aftertaste is medium-long and sweet.
A very unique whisky, with many of the characteristics of a typical Talisker. A whisky that will definitely end up on my wish list. Not quite at the top, but not at the bottom either.
"Enjoyable" : 3.75 stars | Well above average.
