Tasting Highland Park 1998

By Miguel in Tasting , Highland Park

“Very floral Highland Park whisky”

88
Highland Park 1998 1l
Released in April 2010, this litre bottle vintage edition of Highland Park was distilled in 1998, the year of the distillery's bicentenary and was originally only available in travel retail.

This Highland Park single malt is one of the members of the vintage selection that this Orkney distillery has released lately.

Fruity, with a honeyed sweetness after 12 years maturation in American oak.

It is a real pity it wasn't bottled at cask strength.

This dram has a gold-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. heather, honey, toffee, malt, citrus. Lots of lovely floral sweet aroma

Palate (88): smooth. heather, wood, honey, citrus, spices, pepper, dark chocolate.

Finish (87): longer than average. floral, spices, vanilla.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Highland Park 1998 1l with 88 points over 100.
