Мощный (63,3%), маслянистый односолодовый с вереском, мёдом, табаком и лёгким торфом; опытные ценят купаж и развитие к длинному послевкусию, но расходятся из-за избытка хереса и сладости, местами серных нот.
развернуть подробно
В аромате доминируют вересковый мёд, воск, кожа, табак и лёгкая дымка торфа с землистыми и фермерскими тонами, спелыми яблоками, черносливом и оттенком шоколада; при высокой крепости нос отмечают на удивление сдержанным, зрелым и не резким. Вкус плотный, маслянистый, пряный (перец, чили, мускатный орех), с воском, дубовыми танинами, цитрусом, лакрицей и сладостью, у части ревьюеров явно хересной; послевкусие длинное, тёплое, обволакивающее, с сигарным табаком, горьковатой золой, какао и ячменным сахаром, к концу слегка горчит.
Опытные авторы в целом хвалят баланс, спрятанный спирт и нарастание от скромного носа к сильному вкусу и лучшему в бокале послевкусию, но один из самых авторитетных критикует избыток хереса и сладость в ущерб характеру дистиллерии, а торфа отмечают меньше обычного для этой марки. У остальных встречаются претензии к молодости, несбалансированности и слабой серной ноте, характерной для поздних розливов; вода делает напиток резче, не добавляя новизны, поэтому многие предпочитают пить неразбавленным. Оценки согласованы плотно — большинство в диапазоне 83–89 с отдельными всплесками до 91–92, что говорит об устойчиво высокой, хотя и не выдающейся репутации.
The leathery notes are really not bad but rather typical for some HPs and you really smell the Vikings - not much water needed but better because of the high abv

Lot of heather, leathery notes, tobacco, hints of toffee, whiffs of honey, chocolate, little earthy and farmy - really not bad |

Long, warm, spicy |
Lots of sherry, very sweet and does not bring the intensity of the distillery character I was hoping for, and the abv would suggest. A competent quaffable dram none the less.

20 22 20 21 83 Powerful, strong, but positive, though I had to drip a bit of water, but that's personal ...
This one builds up the pleasure. The nose starts off quite modest, in taste it gains power but actually the finish is the best part, long lasting cigar tobacco. Overall this one has less traces of peat than I use to notice in most HP's.

Earthy notes, some slight touch of peat. Some fruitiness, ripe apples. A bit modest nose, hardly any alcohol, despite the high Abv. Some prunes. |

[November, 2021] "Curiosity killed the cat" but not the whisky connoisseur (so far) that is why I bought a bottle of this new cask strength edition from this distillery known for excellent young drams too (there not that many of them)... ...and this dram is pretty nice, but I had better 8-years old cask strength editions before (e.g., from Gordon & MacPhail). Nonetheless, this is easy drinking stuff at 63.3% abv (not joking) provided your taste buds are capable to cope with such a high proof. Remember the old ad slogan "If it is too strong - you are too weak!"?

The colour is amber and the nose offers an impressive and surprisingly mature profile with all the trademark Highland Park aromas presents, among them heather honey, old-style waxes and a whiff of peat. The wood is firm but not dominating and despite the high proof (63.3% abv!) this nose is not punchy at all. This is quite good for a NAS edition. |

The taste is very sweet with much more sherry-induced flavours than with the nose. The wood again is firm and provides a solid backbone with spices and tannins but never tries to dominate. The waxes grow stronger upon chewing and add to the bitter side what I like but there are sweet fruits which counter this attack, too. Water turns both nose and taste punchier, surprisingly but does not add any new impressions. A further reduction takes this away again but now an unpleasant metallic/cardboardy note pops up in the nose while the taste flattens somewhat. As strange as it sounds - I prefer this dram neat at 63.3% abv. |

The initial mouthfeel is warming and nicely coating without any hot moments despite the high abv. Wow, this is really excellent for such a dram. The finish is of medium length and adds some chocolatey impressions and (even) more barley sugars. Again, no distracting moments except a minor bitter wooden note towards the very end. |

Amber color. The whisky is definitely oily in the glass.

Light sweetness. Vanilla. Caramel. Lots of spices. Rather spicy. Traces of cinnamon. Maybe nutmeg. A trace of dried fruit, but far in the background. Heather honey. Heathers. The high alcohol strength is quite clearly perceptible. The nose seems neither too full nor very complete. Maybe a little water would be good. Milk chocolate began to appear in the background against the other nose. Less spiciness, more sweetness. Even noticeable aromas of meadows and flowers. |

Sweetness. Honey. Caramel. Traces of yellow fruit in the syrup. Peaches. Very delicate ginger, but it may be leftover from the tongue, where it was definitely more spicy. Here the finish is smooth. A distant trace of cocoa. Dessert chocolate. Medium-long finish. |

The Highland Park Cask Strength underlines the most important features of the characteristic taste profile with an alcohol content of 63.3%. A robust and intense bottling from the Orkney Islands.
81-85 – Wow, really good one

Too young and unbalanced for me. In the background I have a very slight sulphurous note like so often the last time in HP bottlings. Will try Brach 2 again but Batch 1 is not mine.

Another Highland Park, which has stayed in my house, I like and taste very much. I like whisky with the power of a barrel, and the one with 63.3% voltage is surprisingly well-balanced, with well-hidden alcohol. After adding water, a young oak tree appeared in the aroma, and the flavor was chocolate filled with chilli with a little salt. Overall ... This is what I like. I will definitely buy a second bottle as soon as I see the bottom of the first one.

Blind tasting This was not easy to classify. A lot of interplay, but everything a bit impetuous. On my rating scale, which is in principle between 80 and 95, it is in the middle of 86 and 87.

86.5-87 Bronze tones, somewhat herbaceous, fermented grape pulp, kitschy vanilla-toffee note and also some dry hay. Can't really classify it all, but there is definitely a lot and that's not done badly. But time does not bring more clarity here either. In blind tasting, tap on approx. 50% and max. ten years. |

86.5-87 Here then already lighter, much sharper and hardly classifiable again, not even after 30 minutes. Rather dry, bitter and more like woody hay than sweetness. Here I guess at least 50% in blind tasting. With a little imagination I can find smoke tones. Mainly dry and a sovereign strength. |

86.5 Remains dry, medium-long bitter and with a burnt ham spiciness. |
This Highland Park was a great surprise. While the smell is better than the taste, this whisky was a pleasure to taste. I would drink this single malt again at any time.
