Well, let's start the New Year with a new release of great distilleries Highland Park.
So:
Highland Park 1990 40% DF
Distilled 1990 Bottled 2010
Nose: calm, balanced, but at the same time very complicated: Soft sweet fruit, black olives, light echoes "Orkney" peat (sorry for "stamp"), leather, honey, herbs effect. A little smoke and very little salt.
Body: medium density to the lung
Taste: first sensation - the taste seems somewhat monoplanar (most likely due to the effects of low degree), then there is a smooth transition to the dry notes of good champagne. Next are the spices (red pepper) served with honey and peppermint. The taste is very subtle and unobtrusive.
When heated, there are shades of strong black tea (for example, "Assam"), and the presence of peat significantly enhanced
Finish: long and complex: he managed to catch moment at which the whole taste of the finish was reproduced several times. Wow!
This whiskey requires a leisurely and thoughtful immersion sufficiently lightweight body provides an excellent malt vkusoaromatiku. Is that 40% - not much, as I thought. Score 87 points
PS In the near future followed by a description of the magnificent Springbank Rum Wood Vintage 1991
