Highland Park-1958-40 year old
Distilled and Bottled by James Grant & Co., Highland Park Distillery, Orkney.
One of 665 bottles. Engraved labelling, 6.2cm below foil, showing a sign of old seepage. Excellent colour.
"... A perfect balance, with a bit of icing sugar at first, followed by bunches of dried fruits (Smyrna raisins, bananas, figs) and toasted nuts (pecan, almonds, peanuts). Cake, Virginia tobacco... Some eucalyptus candies, mint drops... Notes of old claret, cinnamon and a bit of clove, getting spicier and spicier. Rose jam, Turkish delight... Hugely complex and fabulously balanced, with a rather long, smoky and dry finish – and also a little spearmint to give it a little extra-freshness. Exactly the kind of malt I'd like to sip in a club, with a great cigar. Too bad I never go to clubs and I don't smoke cigars anymore!" (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
750ml. Single Malt., 44% volume.
