Highland Park 12 Year Old

General description

Good, strong Highland malt, would like a bit more abv

General description

Very interesting. This whisky has something for everyone. Some peat and floral notes. Dark fruits and citrus and a strange note that reminds me of sake.

General description

leichte sherry aromen, dezenter torfrauch, eher wässerig, kaum abgang

General description

a lil bit of everything in there. good dram

General description

Warming but not overpowering. A sweetness, maybe sherry, not harsh.

General description

Quite delicious, the peat, smoke and sweetness is very approachable.

General description

Zacht, redelijk neutraal, voor een whisky is hij fris te noemen.

General description

petrol, oils and smoke on the nose.
smoke, wood and round notes of spice.

Nose

petrol, oils, smoke

Palate

smoke, round, spice, earth

Finish

smoke, spuce

General description

Good Sherry nose. Light smoke wisps with honey. short finish.

General description

Excellent

General description

Honey, green apples, bit of smoke and a tiny bit of rubber. A classic. By far not the best version but good as always.

General description

In der Nase Vanille mit einer würzigen Muskatnuss-Note. Dazu etwas Rauch über zarter Nektarinen-Haut. Im Mund machen sich frische Äpfel breit, die von pfeffrigen Gewürzen gespickt scheinen. Auch Karamell und Vanille lassen sich langsam nieder. Am Ende findet sich auch wieder die Nektarine, ehe der Abgang erneut die Apfelschale nach vorn treibt. Diese wirkt letztlich ganz leicht angebrannt, ohne dass dieses Raucharoma aber wirklich bestimmend wäre. Nachdem das verflogen ist, bleiben noch Noten von frischen Kräutern.

General description

solid body with fine smoke aftertaste

General description

vanilla, sweet, sharp

General description

balanced - sweet, malt, cherry

General description

Riding a fine line between sweet and overly sweet, but the peat smoke and brine gives it a healthy tug to balance it out. One of my daily sippers.

General description

truly solid

General description

Excellent balanced whisky, so well balanced I don't find it overly exciting but definitely enjoyable to drink

General description

Nicely mild smoky peat with cherry sweetness

General description

Great value. Have drank this for a while and have not been bored. Would recommend for those who can handle mild/moderate peat.

Nose

Cigar ash/burnt matches. hints of moss and possibly citrus.

Palate

malt notes quickly followed by peat and char notes. Hidden tones of pineapple from time to time.

Finish

moderate smoke.

General description

Lightly smoked aroma with honey and malty notes. Sweet and rich taste. Unsurprisingly finish.

General description

good ballance. But fragrance is low.

General description

Good value. Fruity, caramel, smoky, brine. Quite complex yet easy to drink. Well balanced and pleasant.

General description

Very pleasant nose of caramel, honey, fruits, and slight hint of smoke. Palate surprised me - mellow with almost no bitter after-taste; gave that apple and citrus finish that reminds me of Courvoisier VSOP cognac! Very balanced.

General description

I was hoping for more. Though it is nice, it's not challenging, bold - don't know why I was expecting that but it has such a great spicy fruity nose that I was hoping for a more bold character. A good one to try.

General description

pleasantly surprised, smokey, complex, yet easy to drink

Pleasantly approachable peated scotch. This was a good transition for me from fruity sherried whisky to delve into peated varieties. Smooth with a fruity character that rounds out to smoky towards the finish.

Palate

briny and fruity

Finish

Heathery peat

A smooth sipping whisky. Remains honest with little complexity to it;hence nothing remarkable, but enjoyable all the same.

Barley cereals. A honey sweetness with hints of vanilla and peat. Quite an elegant aroma.

licht rokerig

General description

One of my favorite daily dram, perfectly balanced between vanilla, sweetness and final smoke.
Very good quality, related to its price.

General description

Smooth and accessible, but not enough smoke for me. Very sherry and also a bit too sweet for me. If you like these things and dislike too much smoke, you'll love it!

General description

very lightly smoked... took me a moment to even notice it!
sweet and smoky! an interesting combination. vanilla notes, mild burn

General description

salmiak. rook. zoetige smaak. lekker

General description

Peaty, sherry, not much heat. I see why people like it, but not for me.

General description

Vanilla notes, heatherly and floral taste. A very little peaty flavor at the end. One of my favorites for littlebmoney.

General description

Very nice Islander, with a healthy dose of peatiness and smoky goodness... everything I love about scotch.

General description

Ein sehr guter Einsteigerwhisky von Highland Park. Sollte in keiner Hausbar fehlen.

General description

richtig guter whisky
fein ausbalanciert

General description

sweet

General description

Sweet and peat, great balance and great price.

General description

Nice. Lacks the smoky body of the Islays that I'm most familiar with, but the sherry really comes through. Well balanced.

General description

I find it interesting how this dram develops its aroma, at first you can smell sweet lemon, honey and a bit of peat, but then it changes into more green, fruity smell, apple? Palate is well-rounded peaty sweet, almost syrup-like sweetness. A little too quick a finish for my taste perhaps. Not the perfect dramformy taste, but still a very good and classy dram.

General description

Nose: fruity / vanilla / light smoky. Taste: smoky / a little oily / strong. Aftertaste: smoky long lingering taste. This is a good whisky for peatlovers. And because of the peat, it's not for me.

General description

Een heerlijk gebalanceerde whisky. Geur van lichte turfrook en honing caramel. De smaak is licht kruidig, fruitig en zoet. Een lichte afdronk met een mooi evenwicht. Een must voor iedere liefhebber!!

General description

Duidelijk een favoriet, dit is whisky

General description

süß und leicht rauchig

Nose

Fruchtige Süße. Getrocknetes Obst. Karamell. leicht rauchige Note

süß, leicht rauchig. voll und rund im Mund. Eiche ist vorhanden. würzig

Finish

im Abgang würziger und eichenlastiger.

General description

Un de mes favoris dans les classiques. un toube légère et agréable

General description

Maritim nose with seagrass, smoke and some sweetness. Very fine aroma, bit of salt and honey. Long and delicate finish. To me this tastes like a sunny, windy day at the scotish sea.

General description

Smokey, tastefull

General description

smokey softness. good

General description

very nice

General description

Beetje zemig. Scherpe smaak. Niet super smokey.

General description

Nice smoky whisky with malt sweet in the end and layered gentle multiflavour.

General description

my choice to keep me going over Christmas. really easy to drink. a good go to whisky.

General description

decent everyday dram, torn between this and glenfiddich 12yo for a daily drinker. overall not disappointed in this purchase.

Nose

Clean ocean breeze, sweetness that i cant label, orange zest, slightly floral but not overbearing. reminds me of a freshly cleaned room on he beach with the windows open.

Palate

sweet and salty, a little bit of bitterness on the tip of yor tongue. not to thick but just right in texture.

Finish

not much of an after affect, hints of the nose and palate in the finish.

General description

Cant go, wrong as a gift

General description

mooie zachte whisky

General description

La découverte de l'alliance entre la tourbe et les vents scandinaves. Magnifique!

General description

General description

My favorite for a normal day and normal price. Slight peated, a little bit sweet, smooth.

General description

A nice combination of Smokey Peat, vanilla, and sherry.
