Description
Nose : Exotic fruit, under-ripe crushed ground cherry and some honey.
Palate : Sensual delivery that would be recognizedand wholly appreciated by fans of Highland Park thanks to the busy honey and semi-hidden waves of smoke, a few oaky touches appear early but enhance in a toasty rather than life threatening way, the spices rave early on then settle.
Finish : A gentlemanly exit with its honeyed head held high to the last, no oaky screaming and shouting, just a few bitter-sweet farewells.
