Nose
Quite a pungent and heavily peated nose for a Highland Park. Very fishy with hints of bog myrtle, menthol, heather-honey and slightly gristy barley notes. Youthful and slightly coastal with some late rubber and iodine. With water the nose becomes gentler and slightly candied with the barley taking on a sugar coating and the intense peat retreating into the background.
Palate
Slightly oily, opening with cereal biscuits followed by heather-honey and herbs. The intense alcohol dies out the middle and the finish. Although it does seem quite full for a Bourbon oaked Highland Park. The peat is gentler on the palate, yet it is quite an oily/ tarry, sort of liquid peat – Pretty wild huh! With water... it has become sweeter and a lot more expressive. Gristy and grippy, considerably more floral and heathery with just a touch of honey and light fishy peat.
Finish
The finish just keeps on going, finishing with a smidge of peat smoke and salt.
