Review of Highland Park 12 years old Single Malt

By Miguel at 2012 May,29 in Tasting , Highland Park

“More smoky than peaty but a very nice Highland Park.”

The first proprietary bottling of Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky was as a 12 year old in 1979.

It remains the core expression of the Highland Park range and is a smooth, balanced single malt, with a rich full flavour and a gentle smokey finish.

In fact this is the smokier bottling of all the range. If you like this Highland Park 12 years old, you should try the 18 years old.

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (89): more than average. peat, honey, heather, citrus, malt, spices.

Palate (90): smooth, oily. peat, honey, floral, spices, vanilla, wood, cocoa.

Finish (89): longer than average. peat, wood, honey.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Highland Park 12 year with 89 points over 100.
