Highland Park 1968 Orcadian Vintage Series Bottling Note~ A mix of seven hogsheads and one butt (all refill casks), Highland Park 1968 is the second in the distilery's Orcadian Vintage series. The packaging for this series is spectacular, with a heavy oak box featuring Viking design marquetry wood inlays and a handcrafted silver amulet on the front. Tasting Note~ Color: Deep amber bronze. Nose: Fantastic attack on espresso coffee and dried herbs, with also lots of leathery notes (horse saddle). Strong pipe tobacco (Balkan sobranie), walnut liquor, cigar box… Very, very ‘male’, whatever that means. Keeps on developing, on soy sauce and fresh fruits such as granny smith apples – and also dried oranges and pineapples. Whiffs of smoke. Really a stunner, with no weakness due to age. Palate: Extremely sweet and smooth, with a creamy mouth feel. A perfect balance, with a bit of icing sugar at first, followed by bunches of dried fruits (Smyrna raisins, bananas, figs) and toasted nuts (pecan, almonds, peanuts). Cake, Virginia tobacco… Some eucalyptus candies, mint drops… Notes of old claret, cinnamon and a bit of clove, getting spicier and spicier. Rose jam, Turkish delight. Finish: Hugely complex and fabulously balanced, with a rather long, smoky and dry finish. |
