44%, chill filtered and natural colour. Nose: light peat, heather, butter scotch, crème burlee and pineapple. Palate: vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon and the famous HP honey heather peat. Finish: medium short with a hint of lemon zest, spices and mellow smoke. This Highland Park isn’t your typical HP, it’s lighter and less Christmas cake. It’s sweet with medium body and much more of a vanilla sponge type of HP. This is a good whisky, but it isn’t a great one. Like a self sabotaging star athlete Highland Park likes to hold itself back. The bottle of Cask Strength, batch 4 that I have next to this is a much better whisky at less cost. Speaking of price, this 15 year old is slightly more then double the cost of the 12 year old Highland Park, which I think offers much more in terms of value then this one. While I think this bottle is good, I don’t think the “juice is worth the squeeze” in this one due to how expensive it is.
