Highland Park 19 Year Old - Forgotten Gems
Highland Park
Tasting Notes
This 19-year-old Highland Park single malt is a hidden treasure, unearthed by the whisky experts at Forgotten Gems. Pouring a deep amber hue, the nose instantly transports you to a cozy bakery, with aromas of freshly baked malt loaf, buttery biscuits, and a tantalizing hint of barbecued apricots and treacle sponge cake. As you take a sip, the flavors unfold like a symphony, starting with warm toffee and smoky barbecue sauce, followed by herbal honey, cinnamon snaps, and rich treacle tarts wrapped in buttery pastry. The finish is a delightful dance of brown butter, biscuity malt, grilled peach, vanilla custard, and a gentle touch of woody spice, complemented by a hint of burnt brown sugar and green peppercorn heat. This limited release of 84 bottles from an ex-Bourbon barrel is a must-try for any whisky enthusiast seeking a truly unique and indulgent experience.
