Tasting Notes
North Highland 8 Year Old Blended Malt is a delightful Scotch whisky that captivates the senses with its alluring aromas and flavors. On the nose, it unveils a vibrant symphony of fresh peach, floral lychee notes, a hint of chalky flint, and honeyed sourdough, complemented by flaky sultana pastries, a touch of banana, and an oily, waxy malt character. The palate reveals a delightful interplay of sweet peach and stone fruit flavors, accompanied by candied pineapple and nostalgic milk bottle sweeties, while silky layers of vanilla cream cushion a sprinkle of savory spice. The finish lingers with notes of vanilla shortbread, candle wax, a tangy citrus twist, and a peppery kick. Crafted by the Thompson Bros. using ethically sourced whiskies from the renowned Clynelish and Glen Ord distilleries, this exceptional blend offers remarkable value for money, making it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and novices alike.
