Great interesting complex whisky with many facets. Nose is very bruichladdich like.
Salted sweet cream, vanilla frosting, slight hint of smoked meat.

Smooth, oily, creamy
honey, peat, and smoke
good mix of fruity sweetness, honey, and smoke.
a Nice whisky like most HP a good ballance between flavors. Sweet, fruity and some smoke.
tasty
Schon ausgewogener und komplexer Malt. Vor allem die Nase begeistert. Toller Whisky.
Zuerst frisch mit süßen Zitrusfrüchten und einem zartem, aromatischen Holzrauch. Es folgen Honig, Vanille und Äpfel. Vielleicht etwas Ingwer und eine Spur Eiche und Salz. Die Früchte werden immer dunkler und auch die Süße nimmt zu. Sehr schöne und komplexe Nase!
Zuerst ölig und weich, dann setzt eine deutliche, pfeffrige Würze ein. Leichte, helle Früchte, Vanille und Schokolade. Dabei immer sehr süß und salzige Noten.
Hier kommt der Holzrauch zurück, dazu Früchte, Honig und leichte Bitterkeit der Eiche.
Smokey and smooth. Worth the price.
perfectly balanced between smokey and sweet.
Young and aggressive. Nose is slight smoke, muted fruits. Mouth is light smoke, little vanilla, lemon, spice. After is a small smoke note, a little salt, sherry spice. Finishes short and interesting...need another sip.
Smoke, fruit.
Smoke, vanilla, lemon, spice.
Smoke, salt, spice.
notes of apple, caramel
smokey/leather hints
schöner leichter torfrauch, vanille süffig
Nose: slight apple, spirits,
Body: smooth, round, creamy, a little disappointing, toffee
Finish: warming,
nose: first of all shery, then dried fruita, hint of smoke
palate: spicy, spices and liquorice, maritim salty air
finish: spicy, wood, dry and rather short
A very balanced Highland Park. Recommendable.
great flavor, if you like the HP 12 you'll like this even more.
Smoke and sherry on the nose, great start. Smoke, salt, bitter peels, and dry druit on the palate. Medium salty maritime finish. Smooth and enjoyable.
Smoke and Sherry
bitter peels, salt, smoke
oily and salty
Quite well rounded, if a little muddled. There is plenty of character & depth but it almost gets lost in itself. The malty spice oak core is present throughout with wafts of smoke and fruits vying for attention.
Quite fruity plum, & apricot, citrus tones. Oaty nutmeg, bitter sweet, gentle smokey undertone.
Initially crisp & fresh. Rounded palate, malty vanilla, fruit flavours, gentle woody spice, tannin rich and a hint of smoke.
Medium long, plenty of spiced warmth. Fruit still offers a sweetness behind the malt and gentle smoke.
Strong toffee and sherry taste.
fruitful, good taste
lovely smoky flavour that's not to overpowering similar to the 12 year old but tastes slightly more aged.
Light smokiness combined with distinctive HP sweetness
Great whisky from Highland Park! Smoky & fruity in flavour. This is a whisky to savour.
Just received for a gift. We should all hope our children grow up to give us great whisky
Lots of apple and citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit, lemon) with vanilla and smoke.
Green apples and lemon, vanilla and butterscotch with peppery notes.
Buttered honey and pepper. Peat, vanilla, rock salt, toffee, liquorice and grapefruit.
Medium length, leaving dryish vanilla and notes of smoked popcorn.
tastes of tree nuts, custard, dried fruit, and very warm.
Some spices, salt, fruits and even smoke. Quite good.
