Re: Review one whiskey
Highland Park 12 (orkney islands)
note: I drank this out of a glass designed by Riedel for single malt whisky and have fast fallen in love with drinking from this glass (I also need to note that my writing is gonna be a bit off as I've just had some wine before this)
color: a golden mahogany
nose: some subtle smoke and peat to it with possible cinnamon undertones(again, my nose is a bit off after having it full of shiraz for the past two hours, so some of that may be coming through)
taste: very nice going down. May be due to the glass as I've noticed that its taken away from some of the initial fire. Long finish that hits the back palate real nice. Still getting the smoke flavors that I got on the nose
overall: very nice though young. I'm very looking forward to trying the highland park 18 at some point in the near future(as in the next 6-8 months). It has a very nice finish and is very drinkable though not fully for the faint of heart
