I’m quoting from “Michael Jackson’s Complete Guide to Single
Malt Scoth” 5th edition.
“Highland Park is the greatest all-rounder in the world of malt.
It is definitely in an Island style, but combining all the elements
of a classic single malt: smokiness (with its own heather-honey accent),
maltiness, smoothness, roundness, fullness of flavour, and length of finish.”
To be honest I just picked this book up two weeks ago.
When you made your statement I decided to look it up.
I just really liked Highland Park’s taste. :mrgreen:
One of the reasons I recommend Highland Park is that it is not as peaty as
say Lagavulin, Ardbeg, or Laphroaig. (I love all three BTW!)
You have to work your way up to them.
