Whisky - Highland Park 1966 Cask 4638 41.5%

This venerable HP was opened with friends in Epsom the evening before the derby It is 37 years old and probably from a bourbon cask.

Nose: aniseed, oak with some tropical fruits.

Pallet: immediate smoke to the front and a lovely honey burst sweetening it up. Fresh and not too old. Oak

Finnish: lingering smokiness, simply lovely.

Comments: this has improved since opening. I have decanted he other half of the bottle in to a 35 ML sample bottle for safe keeping. A little cracker to be opened once more on a special occasion.
