Highland Park 21 Offical Tasting Notes
Appearance: Natural colour; reddish gold Orkney sunset
Nose: Butterscotch, dark chocolate and orange
Palate: Full flavour, candied orange peel with spicy dark chocolate leading to a rich smoky sensation
Finish: Rich, complex, sweet smoky sensation then soft medium dry
Highland Park 21 Year Old has a rounded spicy sweetness, with hints of orange peel and dark chocolate. This whisky tingles the middle of the tongue then immediately makes the mouth water, leaving a rich smokEy sensation which seems to last forever.

Tasting Notes By Dave Broom:
Nose: Rounded,deep and mossy. Aromatic, toasty oak tangerine zest almost floral smokiness:incense,scented candles. Tantalising mix of the fragrant,the sweet and the dry. Best neat.
Palate: Spicy with plenty of ginger and nutmeg. Good length,dry smoke, then heather. Mellow,yet firm enough to add a layer of complexity.
Finish: Crisp,long.
Comment: A drier expression of HP from the norm and all the more fascinating for that.Recommended.

Tasting Notes By Martine Nouet
Nose: Phenolic and marine. Boat tar. Wet rope. Then sweeter notes. Vanilla waffles. On time a floral note. Orange blossom? Some citrus (lemon sorbet).
Palate: Smooth. Sweet and malty with a distinctive iodinic note; Salty feel. Fizzy. Dry spices.
Finish: Long,dry with an oaky sherried edge.
Comment: A fresh and dry whisky. Gradual delivery on the nose.The palate is more in one piece. But a beautiful one!
