Appealing whisky, pretty bottle, too Clear sweet notes on the nose and palate, without being cloying. Great value at this price. Lovely complex whisky with sweet and spicy floral notes on the nose, showing up again on the palate with a bit of shortbread and soft citrus. Nice woody finish. Very pleasant, easily worth several pours, and at this price, you can justify buying it often.

Very enjoyable with soft ‘sweetness’ and complexity. I prefer this to the ‘Dragon Legend’ that has appeared recently which has an unattractive woody ending. I find this very similar to the previous, excellent 12yo which the marketing people have seen fit to pension off (or maybe they have just gone for the same malt in a rather naff, fancy bottle). In the process, Highland Park have reduced the alcohol content to 40%, at least in UK.

Yes, Zweder, there is a certain sweetness, due to the sherry casks, but there is also well dosed peat in this smooth and elegant whisky and that is the part I specially like.

See my previous note, the less in the bottle, the more this whisky became round and smooth. Alas the bottle is empty.
