Highland Park 21 year old (November 2019 Release), 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2020 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
This latest release comprises the contents of nine first-fill European sherry-seasoned oak hogsheads, eight bourbon barrels, and nine refill casks, all laid down in 1998. Hints of warm machine oil and herbs on the nose, with pineapple, barley sugar, and white pepper, plus a touch of heather and faint smokiness. Slightly bitter on the palate, with wood spices, while fruitiness lurks in the background. Peppery oak char and coal in the finish.
