Highland Park – Twisted Tatoo

Hey guys. How’s it going? So on with my Highland Park journey, I’ve decided to go for one of their latest releases, the 16yo Twisted Tattoo.

Highland Park’s Twisted Tattoo combines whisky aged in Spanish Rioja wine 🍷seasoned casks – 153 casks in total – with whisky matured in 70 first-fill bourbon casks. The result is Highland Park Twisted Tattoo 16 Year Old. Inspiration for this one came from the Viking legend of the Midgard Serpent, which got itself twisted around the world to bite its own tail. You can even see said serpent on the bottle’s label, designed by tattoo artist Colin Dale.

Here is my review:.

Nose: Fruity with peaches🍑, apricots 🍊 and roasted red berries🍓, shortbread. Sweet vanilla and honey 🍯and a whiff of smoke 💨.

Palate: The vanilla and honey🍯 from the nose are present here as well. The fruitiness is here as well with peaches🍑 and apricots🍊 and a slight spicy peppery 🌶note.

Finish: Sweet vanilla lingering to reveal a touch of smoke💨. Dry oak and liquorice and red wine tannins🍷

This a very good whisky guys, the Rioja wine is there adding to its complexity but it’s not in any way overpowering, but it’s definitely there 😉.

What do you guys think about this one? Have you tried it? How did you like it?

What do you think of them Camachos? 💨👌🏻💨.

Cheers guys and have a great week 😉 🥃✨🥃

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
