Want to put your hands on this new Highland Park baby? This way!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nose:<\/strong> Rich and sweet, boasting Highland Park’s signature iodine\/smoky notes… This dram screams salted caramel paste to me and oh my… God knows (why should I need to involve a god into that?!<\/em>) that must be my favourite thing in life… Also some delicious notes of dried fruits, nutmeg, vanilla ice cream, cupcake icing and strawberry cheesecake… This nose is a real treat! After a few sniffs (feels like I’m talking about some kind of drug now…<\/em>), underlying notes of milk chocolate podder, cinnamon and sugared cornflakes also appear… Just can’t get enough of this!<\/p>\nPalate<\/strong>: Drier than I first expected after this “all-I-am-willing-to-eat-when-Im-on-a-diet” nose but still well balanced and refined. More woody aromas, smoky hints come through, along with a full array of spices, unripe orchard fruits, bitter orange and honeysuckle.<\/p>\nOverall, this dram is pretty gentle in the mouth, I have to admit I was expecting a bit more in terms of flavour explosion after this feast of a nose but still… I quite enjoy a surprising dram kind of telling me “hahaha screw you, you got me all wrong lil’ girl!” (Yes, I’ve decided this Highland Park speaks like a thug).<\/p>\n
Finish:<\/strong> elegant with orange-flavoured dark chocolate<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
