Highland Park 12 Year Old

Interestingly, when I first opened this bottle and poured my first glass to nose it several years ago; I thought I wouldn't like it as I recall my very first thought: bourbon. I remember sensing bitter fruit with hints of vanilla. It could have been something else influencing the palette, just as wine can be complementary or disagreeable with different foods; I feel it is the same with whiskies. The truth is, Highland Park is absolutely delicious; superior in texture and complexity; flavours seem to be released in stages, priming the palette with strong notes of honey, sweetness, and a glucose-like, rich texture, and then converting to notes of floral, berries, and a general warm smoothness that coats the tongue. Finish is definitely long - lingering, and also converts back from the floral where it left you, to the sweet notes of honey and caramel that initiated the experience. A great balanced whisky for the price -
