Single Malt Whisky

| September's official addition |
All the way from the Orkney’s, Highland Park is rich
and smoky.
Made from barley malted over burning peat, this Highland
malt has a smoky sweetness and a glowing amber colour. Smoothly opulent and
tingling with spices and hints of orange peel through to a powerful finish.
Highland Park 12 Year Old remains one of the gold standard malts for
other distillery bottlings to aspire to. With a delicious sweetness
(heather-honey is their preferred description) and a warming, silky mouthfeel,
this is a whisky that never lets you down.
“The greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky”. Michael

I love it - so very smooth !

Try the 15 year old offering from Highland Park. Less emphasis on the sherry and more on the American oak casks that previously held bourbon.
Cheers!
Hi Jason, thanks for your comments. I'm hoping to try a number of the HP range at a tasting later next month. Every one from their range is on my wish list.
