Neat. Neck pour. Friend bought this for me years ago and never opened it because I wasn’t into Scotch at the time. Time to explore this Highland. Very light and pretty on the nose. Fruity with a hint of nuttiness hiding in the background. It’s a medley of fruits. Pears and blackberries highlighted by a little vanilla cream. Not much else sticks out. Light and fluffy in texture. Very sweet initially with the blackberries the first flavor to emerge. Tastes a bit different than I was expecting. Fruits still leads with the pears and bit of sourness but the nuttiness transitions into a hint of dark, bitter chocolate. Vanilla is coming out more on subsequent sips. Just an easy sipper. Nothing offensive but no stand out characteristics either. Once this is gone, I can’t see myself buying it again.
