19 August 2026
88

A decent single cask 200x Highland Park that perhaps need some water or time

Nose

Definitely over-sherried & sweet but the nose does not feel like a 12yo 63,3% whisky at all

Body

Dried fruits & raisins but again the palate is very sweet, definitely a very cask-driven spirit

Finish

Bitter finish, definitely gets spicy & hot towards the end but as expected due to the young age & high ABV
