Highland Park 18 year old Viking Pride (2019 Batch), 43%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Christmas warmth in a glass, its maturity showing in complex aromas of baked apple, poached pear, Christmas cake, cinnamon, gingerbread, and cloves, enlivened by a tropical note of lime and a hint of peat. More baking spices on a rich palate that offers milk chocolate, melted caramel, and strawberry jam, with water bringing out notes of candied fruit, chocolate, and more light peat. Nimble, spiced, and replete with flavors to treasure.
