Tasting…
 
Nose: Vanilla sugar, light smoke with citrus notes.
 
Palate: Chilli, Creamy, slight menthol then earthy, slight peat at the back, pomegranates, pears.
 
Finish: Lingering Buttery with dwindling peat and finally oily coating.
 
Comments: Distilled by Highland Park in 2000 this 11 year old is a great wee Dram, the distillery produces exceptional drams and this is no exception, a combination of the distillery and bottler this is fantastic. Maturation in Refill Bourbon barrels and bottled at Cask strength with an ABV of 58.2% you need to add some water and let it settle.
