.highland park - new make spirit

Palate: sweet, spicy, white pepper, slight dry, dried fruit, raisins, citrus

Conclusion: the main themes here are sweet and raisins. Clearly this spirit drink form a good base for the Highland Park product line. I always like to see taste how the basic flavours of a spirit can make or break the result of the whisky before she is put away for several years in a good selection of wood. This one is a maker.
