Highland Park 12 Year Old Review
With
the darker nights closing in and
Christmas fast approaching there are
bound to be numerous offers on Scotch single malt whiskies available in the big High Street supermarkets
so I thought I would make a few suggestions
during the run up to Christmas for those gift buyers looking for
a special Scotch malt whisky Christmas
gift.
A Scotch single malt whisky which you
will often find on offer in the
supermarkets in the run up to Christmas
is an old favourite of mine, the
Highland Park 12 year old. What many
refer to as an all round malt, which
simply means it offers a bit of
everything. Bottled at 40% ABV.
 William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: A lovely heather honey and
barley sweetness and very mild peaty
smokiness, hint of sweet sherry.
Taste: Lovely malty notes coated
in a gentle heather honey sweetness. A
very subtle smoke hovers in the
background accompanied by just a touch
of citrus fruit.
Finish: A touch of vanilla,
heather honey, a mildly drying subtle
peat.
Comment:
It really does offer a bit of
everything, honey, barley, fruit, oak,
spice and a lovely touch of peaty smoke.
A classic island dram which any whisky
drinker would be happy to find in their
stocking, look out for offers.
