Highland Park 31 year old 1974 vintage (Cask #8998), 45.4%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2007 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
Pleasant aroma (subtle, but with nice depth), with notes of honeyed lime, kiwi, chopped nuts, chocolate fudge, and gentle, seasoned tobacco. Everything is working nicely on the palate too, with a similar flavor profile (the nuts now being roasted) and some smoldering smoke, until about mid-palate, when its age becomes evident with some wet wood notes blending in the mix through to the finish.
