Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: rich, fruity, and chocolaty with a minty freshness; milk chocolate, Werther's Originals, and peanut brittle; orange bitters, pear drops, and Glosset Raisins; toasty with decadent spices; faint gentle peat.
Palate: soft, fruity, and rich with loads of chocolate and a touch of spice; Caramilk, more Werther's Originals, Glosset Raisins, and homemade peanut brittle; mushroom-y earthy tones, toasted oak, and soft muddy peat; some leather and tobacco; still fresh, minty, with a touch of Fernet; more orange bitters, baked apple, pear drops, and dried fruits.
Finish: juicy, warming, fresh, and malty with fading sherry tones and subtle peat.
Comment: this is a classic, and it punches well above its weight; it has an old school feel to it, reminiscent of the way 10 year old whiskies drank 20 years ago; Benromach is the OG of the modern single malt industry.
Producer Tasting Note
Aroma: Sweet green apple and pear complement creamy dark honey. Soft vanilla develops alongside gentle smoke.
Palate: Smooth flavours of malted cereal and stewed fruit combine with warm toffee and a hint of black cherry.
Finish: Full bodied finish with malted cereal and soft smoke.

Highland Park, the northernmost of Scotland's distilleries, dates back to 1798. Definitely an island style with typical smokiness, but with elements of a classic single malt that include a smoothness, roundness and heather-honey accent all its own. Very capable of developing to great ages, the distillery is now making available some older vintages which display considerable depth and richness.
Producer Description
"Matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, our iconic 12 Year Old single malt whisky is spicy and well-rounded, packed with the flavours of sun-kissed Seville oranges and rich fruitcake spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; you’ll find molten heather honey in this whisky’s waves of heathery peat smoke. Why not try it with a handful of wasabi peas on the side or alongside a sizzling, pan-fried rib-eye steak or with smoked salmon and sour cream."
