Highland Park Dragon Legend

As this is my first post for Fire Water X.O., I just had to go with a Highland Park ! HP has been my favourite distillery by far for quite some time now, and even though they can be hard to follow and release more bottles a week than I change my underwear, their stuff is in general pretty good !

So how does a ”cheap” HP sound like ?

Well, like this :

43,1%

NAS

Aged in ex Sherry casks

Color: slightly coppery.
Nose: peat as I am unaccustomed to from HP; the same taste as usual but stronger. Add heavy Sherry, licorice and cinnamon.
Palate: candied citrus and heather peat, light smoke, cherries, dark chocolate.
It tastes a lot like the HP 12 … but on steroids!
Finish: slow, long, all in Orcadian peat !
Comments: the flavors are there, very present, explosive. Not a very complex dram, but nice enough.

It’s cool to see a twist on a classic like the HP12 ! At this price, for quality, it’s a buy!

I never liked vodka&orange or vodka&cranberry while going out in the Montreal Clubs. I was always drinking whisky&ginger ale or whisky&coke. At some point, I just let go of the liquors and started drinking whisky neat... I hated the taste but damn was I a badass in front of my friends ! Eventually, I stopped being a douche and started enjoying finer drams. Today, I’m making it my mission to taste every whisky and to know everything there is to know about spirits, wine and beer !
