Mina kommentarer:
Bytte till mig denna av en kompis från whiskyforum.se. Bytte mot en Macallan Fine Oak 25. HP är bra och 25'an är mycket bra. En h¨rlig honungs- och sherrysmak och till det en aning rök i bakgrunden. Lång och bra eftersmak. En njutning!

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Surprisingly enough, I've never tried the Highland Park 25yo (50.7%, OB, Bottled +/- 2004) before. But then again maybe it's not that surprising - the price difference with the 18yo is considerable.
Nose: Wow!!! Very big and sherried with lots of furniture polish. Sweet and a tad nutty. Oh boy, this is an extremely pleasant nose. Very rich. Salty salmiak and liquorice root.
Taste: Hmmm. Here the wood plays the first violin as well, at least at... erm... first. Then sweeter and fruitier with more tannins towards the finish. Peat? Doesn't last long. Big, sherried, fruity and woody. It just loses a few points because of the short finish.
Score: 89 points. - a highly recommendable malt, but it lacks the 'x-factor' for the 90's.

Colour: Natural colour, dark red golden, clear and bright.
Aroma: Very rich, mature oak; chocolate; fudge.
Taste: Full, rich burst of flavour; soft honey; nutty toffee.
Finish: Rich, long and surprisingly sweet for its age.
