I purchased this after it was recommended by some reviewers I watch. 46.3%, 12 years old, Highland, Integrity Bottling Nose: Honey, Apricot, Grass, Lavender, Orange Peel, Ethanol Taste after 2ml water, 15 Minutes: Mouthfeel is moderately oily, somewhat heavy, and has little to no prominent sweetness. The taste starts with a hint of honey, lavender, and peaches. The mid-palate transitions into grass and burned orange peel. The whiskey has a long, white pepper finish with a hint of dry smoke. The finish is long and becomes slightly tannic near the end. There also seems to be a small amount of salt in the background. The addition of 3ml more of water brings out a very hearty, malty character to the mid-palate. This has been the first Highland single malt that has really wowed me by taking that standard honey profile and adding a large amount of complexity to it. I think the distillery keeping this integrity saves it. Give this whiskey some time in the glass. I've found that 30 minutes really opens it up and allows it to evolve over time in the glass. I don't enjoy this as much as something like Tailsker 10 or even some 50%+ ABV American bourbons, but it does hold its spot for an Ex-bourbon cask Highland. This should not be rated a 79. It's punching at above an 85 at minimum. I'll give them break since I've heard this offering has improved drastically since 2017 though.
