Very impressed. Nose: sherry, honey, heather, Ash, smoke, brine, hint of sulphur,inviting sticky sweetness, damp sherry soaked infused wood chips Palate: full on super sweet sherry attack wow wow wow, smoke lingering, spiciness, ashy, super sweet, milk chocolate Finish: spicy, sherry sherry sweet sweetest, sherry sweetness remains Hmm where to begin. First I gotta say that this is VERY different from the 12 and 18. This is really good, honestly my favorite highland park. This is like the 12's assertiveness with the 18's richness turned up 46.8% but richer and more flavourful. This is a sherry bomb with the heather, briney, highland park smoke. The sherry is really nice, it's close to overwhelming all the other flavours but I don't mind because I like big powerful whiskies. I'd give it 5/5 but for a NAS at only 46.8% at $100 it puts it in territory of other really good scorches.
