Highland Park 12 yo

Product Code: 21221

Very popular single malt internationally, its key quality is its smokiness.

Tasting Notes : Aromas of herbs and heather, boiled sweets and a drop of full-cream; all rounded off with a waft of smoky sweetness.

Producer : Highland Park

Method of Production : The water source is the wonderfully named Cattie Maggie's Spring. Peat cut on the local Hobbister Moor heats floor maltings to produce malt with gentle peat reek. The distillery's malt is mixed with unpeated, imported malt, giving gentle smokiness to the end product. The malt is ground and combined with water making wash that is distilled producing spirit. Distilled twice in pot stills, the spirit ages in ex-Bourbon casks adding smooth body to the whisky.

Beautiful, swims around your taste buds, adding complex but lovely honey, light flavours,a touch of summer,one glass is not enough

I reckon this is the perfect all-round malt, just smoky enough but not too overpowering.

Probably the best whisky in the World. A divine combination of sweetness, smoke and dried fruits. Stunning.

Great whisky, and not too peaty.

By Sam Richardson - 16/03/2006 12:59:00

Got to be one of the best value malts around. Smoke and sweetness and exceptionally smooth on the finish. Absolutely delicious!
