Staff Pick Notes

With the Heather limited release, Highland Park has restored its quality of a couple of decades ago. It is an unadulterated liquid at 63.6% with a powerful punch. The nose senses charcoal, burnt marshmallow, toffee, and roasted nuts. The palate will enjoy flavors of crystalized ginger, butterscotch, dates, nori, and almonds. A mouthful will feel the heat, so sip on this slowly or add water. Part of the beauty of this Scotch is that heather was added to the burning peat during distillation. The result is a smoke that is much softer and more integrated than their Islay counterparts. The smoke is an element rather than the dominant force.
