A miniature bottle of Highland Park 8 Year Old 100 Proof Orkney Scotch Malt Whisky, distilled by James Grant & Company and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail.
Please note there is no size stated on the label, but this appears to be a 5cl bottle.
We estimate this was bottled in the 1980s.
Please note as this is a vintage miniature, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).
Nose: Almost ripened berries and a musty, mossy peat; kiwi; meringue candies; and something vaguely oceanic like being in an old ship that was once at sea. Water brings out floral and salty aromas.
Palate: A teasingly sweet vanilla-extract entry with a toasted malty note and a quiet hint of orange followed by spice development into cloves and the cacao and marzipan qualities found in older HPs; each flavour is slightly seared for a subtle smokiness.
Finish: Atouch of smoke on the gentle chocolate fade; delicate but very nice.
