    Tasted @ Liquor Store Henk Peter - Dutch Flagship Store
    • Nose
      Forest fruits, strawberries, pickled orange, plums and moscatel. Crème brûlée, chocolate, butter, raisins, syrup and some Lapsang tea.
    • Taste
      Full with cassis, blackberries, butterscotch and a trace of smoke.
    • Finish
      Medium drying with coffee, dark chocolate, pepper, ashes and some pepper.

    A very nice HP. I recommend water up to 50% vol. Without water on the palate, a bit spicy for me. However, if diluted it is a very tasty malt. The nose is excellent anyway ...

    Shared cask: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/137573/highland-park-2003
    • Nose
      An initial hit of struck matches that isn't extremely dominant, but it doesn't really subside either. Notes of espresso, dark chocolate, molasses and forest fruits as well. A whiff of cocoa butter and vanilla pods too. Super intense and dense.
    • Taste
      Creamy and pretty polished, which hasn't always been my experience with Highland Park at this strength and age. The sulphur makes an encore, but there's also shortbread, blackberries, burnt caramel and a barely detectable whisper of smoke. A touch of pepper as well.
    • Finish
      Lingering pepper and somewhat drying. A touch of espresso. Long.
