Tasting Notes
North Highland 8 Year Old Blended Malt is a delightful whisky that tickles your senses with its alluring aromas and flavors. The nose greets you with a burst of fresh peach, lychee floral notes, and a hint of chalky flint, backed by sultana pastries, banana, and oily malt. On the palate, the sweet peach and stone fruit character dances alongside candied pineapple and milk bottle sweeties, while silky vanilla cream cushions a sprinkle of savory spice. The finish lingers with vanilla shortbread, candle wax, a touch of tangy citrus, and a peppery kick. This blend of Clynelish and Glen Ord whiskies, ethically sourced from two local producers, is a harmonious marriage of flavors that showcases the northern Highlands' terroir. With its sustainable production methods and careful aging in a refill sherry butt, this whisky offers a delightful experience for those seeking a well-balanced and memorable dram.
