For some reason I never seem to have reviewed the Highland Park 12 Year Old . First introduced in 1979 and matured in a combination of refill and first-fill sherry casks.

Highland Park 12 yo (40%, OB 2016)

Nose: rather typical HP. Honeyed, a lot of orange cubes, cinnamon. Just a hint of heathery smoke and charcoal. Golden raisins. Fairly rounded, with light floral hints. A hint of sea air. Mouth: quite all-round, with a bit of different profiles. Some candied fruits, oranges, a little dried apricot. Some grassy notes, hay, mingling nicely with the soft smoky touches....
