Highland Park 18 Year Old

I don’t have a lot to say about this malt from my handwritten notes, but that’s probably because I was enjoying the whisky so much.

Rose gold in colour and a rich fruity aroma replete with blackcurrants and cherries, with a supporting cast of sherry, butter and sandal wood.

A full bodied dram with a little more attack than I expected. The fruit is very evident with some strawberries thrown in with the cherries and blackcurrants. The fruits are offset by a healthy dose of malt some very soft peat and buttery hints. Absolutely gorgeous, definitely one of my desert island malts.

I don’t know if the finish is that bad but it comes as a letdown to me, a touch hollow somehow. Spicier and dryer with the fruits making an early exit.
