On the nose a creamy, aromatic melange of vanilla custard, hints of aniseed, lemon curd and butter toffee. Wood shavings and dried banana chips develop with just a hint of cassis. More of those banana chips showing through on the palate, this time theres a creamy hit of barley malt too, pepped up with a little allspice. Notes of ground walnut and caramel. Light spice and black pepper on the tail. Lingering notes of cereal sweetness.
The nose offers marmalade and malt, a hint of custard, coconut ice and nutmeg. Winter spices and malt on the palate with barley, Seville orange marmalade and oak. The finish is spiced and warming with oak and cinnamon.
A complex nose with gentle notes of vanilla and citrus. A subtle herbal note; think mint and sage. Very fruity with hints of baked apple, peach, mango, dried apricots and cherries. A background note of almond nuttiness. The oak from the casks comes across as clean pencil shavings.
The English - Smokey. Aged to perfection in specially selected casks. A peated single malt whisky. A lovely waft of smoke on the palate, ideal alternative for the Islay fan
A crisp, light nose offering up notes of toffee apples, hints of dried flowers and biscuity barley. Balanced, biscuit-laden palate with a core of thick, creamy malt. Just a hint of spice and the vaguest whisper of smoke really bring a great deal of complexity. A slightly sweet, malty finish.
Matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, this superb 18 Year Old single malt pays tribute to Highland Park's 5 keystones of production and presents a sophisticated medley of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly harvested honeycomb and candied orange peel. There’s a whisper of Orkney’s salty seaspray in the aromatic peat smoke.
Winter spice and treacle, hints of white pepper and a little citrus. Rich and full with notes of wood smoke and dry spice, hints of barley and cereal with creamy toffee and a distinct herbal note. Quite fruity and long with a note of sultanas and mixed peels.
Fragrant with good body. Notes of oak, crisp spice, dried fruit, pastries. Berry fruits, aniseed, hints of cedar, a touch of spice and citrus. Supple and balanced. Good toffee and hints of very wistful smoke. Chocolate, hints of grass and a good hit of malt. Floral, oaky, good length, urged on by a plume of very well-kept, highland style smoke. Dried fruit, spice, honey.
On the nose a creamy toffee, caramel and vanilla - offset by a distinct pepperiness. Very slight peat smoke. On the palate, fruity with pear drops and luscious apricot. Creamy vanilla yoghurt and a very gentle smattering of peat.
