Highland Park 12 Offical Tasting Notes
Appearance: Glowing amber.
Nose: Heather-honey sweetness; peaty smokiness.
Palate: Rounded smoky sweetness; full malt delivery.
Finish: Teasing, heathery, subtle smoke. Delicious.
Take your time to appreciate the nose of Highland Park 12 and you’ll discover the characteristic honey sweetness followed by fruit – maybe pineapple, apple or pear. On the palate it is drying and leaves a gentle smokey feeling and a flavour that just keeps on going.
The Oloroso sherry casks used by Highland Park are exceptional. They deliver a fantastic sherried Scotch whisky experience that other distilleries can only dream about.

Tasting Notes By Jim Murray
Nose: One of the world’s most subtle and teasing noses: delicate wafts of smoke mingle effortlessly with sweet malt, a hint of oaky salt, apples, old polished leather and trademark heather.
Palate: Intensely malty and fresh at first, and then a lingering smoky depth adds weight. Fabulous bitter-sweet balance which pans out on the sweet side with a gentle build-up of honey.
Finish: Long, smoky with a heathers dryness and spice.
Comment: This malt changes shape slightly from vatting to vatting, with the smokiness, honey, malt and heather each having turns at domination. A 12 Years Old classic.
