Mina kommentarer:
En utmärkt whisky som tillhör grundsortimentet anser jag. Det är en mycket god whisky men storebror på 18 år är flera snäpp bättre. Dock brukar man hitta 12'an billigt på tax-free. Min poäng: 82 p

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

The sample of a recent bottling of the Highland Park 12yo (43%, OB, Bottled +/- 2003, L0548C L1122:07) would give me the opportunity to check if the rumours about a changing profile for this old favourite are true.
Nose: Very fruity. Nutty, sweetening out in the middle. Light. Something perfumy.
Spicy prickle. Hint of peat? Organics. Relatively flat and malty with a hint of beer.
Taste: Flat and thin start. Hotter centre. Alcoholic and not as sweet as its predecessor.
Faintly bitter. Dry. Short finish. Quite disappointing after the pleasant nose.
Score: 77 points. Yep, to me this latest HP seems different from previous bottlings - lighter and maybe less sherried? The HP 12yo always had something that reminded me of the old Mac 12yo. It still scores above average, but it doesn't quite hit the spot like it used to. Let's hope this is just batch variation and not a trend.
Colour: Glowing amber.
Aroma: Heather-honey sweetness; peaty smokiness.
Taste: Rounded smoky sweetness, full malt delivery.
Finish: Teasing, heathery, delicious.
