Description
Since cask details aren’t available, the specific taste profile can vary slightly. However, here’s a potential breakdown based on cask strength and peated malt:
Peaty Smoke
The star of the show! Expect a prominent smoke character, reminiscent of burning bonfires, smoldering peat, or even smoked meats. The intensity can vary depending on the level of peat used in the malting process.
Sherry Influence
Highland Park is known for using sherry casks for maturation. Look for hints of dried fruits (raisin, prune), honey, and a touch of spice (cinnamon, ginger) from this influence.
Honeyed Sweetness
A signature characteristic of Highland Park malts. This sweetness balances the smokiness and adds complexity.
Fruity Notes
Hints of citrus (orange peel) or tropical fruits (mango) might be present, depending on the cask types used.
Spicy Tingle
The higher cask strength can deliver a pleasant tingle on the tongue, adding warmth to the experience.
