Highland Park Triskelion

Single Malt — Islands, Scotland

Reviewed June 4, 2023 (edited December 5, 2023)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
One elusive Highland Park bottle has been this "Triskelion" expression, a decanter that i have seen quite a lot in auctions but i really was mever convinced to buy. The name comes from a nice experiment, three whisky makers (Gordon Motion, Max McFarlane and John Ramsay) came together to marry three different casks, of their choosing, to create this single malt. Matured in first-fill sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks and ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads. Bottled at 45.1%abv. On the nose, you get that classic heathery peat from this distillery. Orange peel, lime and burnt grass. On the palate, sweetness and citrus continue. Vanilla and a ghostly lemon zest. Cigarrettes. It changes from sweet to a "paper-ish", dry burnt grass profile. Aftertaste is very ashy. Cigarrettes and ashtray. New paper. Overall, this was a solid and balanced whisky, but it wasn't too exciting. It has a nice flavor profile and i can feel that they try to create something safe here. The result was a very enjoyable dram, that really won't surprise anyone too much. My score for it is 88 over 100.

    Loved the concept for this one, but am yet to be able to justify paying for a bottle. Would like to add it to my HP notch list, but definitely need a 30 ml to do so.
