Description
Aroma
Upon raising the glass, the initial wave of aroma entices you with rich, dark notes of espresso coffee and decadent dark chocolate. Hints of sweetness emerge with whispers of marmalade on toasted bread, alongside a touch of earthy intrigue from crushed coriander seeds.
Taste
The first sip unfolds with a burst of tangy ginger and warming oriental spices, a testament to the influence of first-fill sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads. These bold notes intertwine with the sweetness of soft vanilla cream and a drizzle of honey, brought forth by the ex-bourbon casks. Refill casks add a layer of subtle complexity, softening the smokiness and spice while introducing a hint of lightly toasted oak.
Finish
The long and lingering finish leaves a lasting impression. The heather-infused peat smoke, a signature characteristic of Highland Park, weaves its way through, harmonizing with the fading sweetness and lingering warmth of spices. This gentle smokiness complements the overall complexity, leaving you wanting another sip to explore its nuances.
