Body

Typical Highland Park profile with fresh fruitiness & soft sherry notes balanced with a hint of sea smoke, vanilla, citrus, slightly creamy & salty Definitely some oaky notes but nothing too overwhelming nor bitter

Finish

Long gentle peat smoke finish, the smoke becomes more apparent towards the end of the dram, no bitter notes but a hint of oakiness at the end
