1978 Highland Park Single Malt Whisky

This single malt whisky has medium copper colour and thick legs. On nose it gives medium intensity aromas of honey, jasmine, malt, hay, citrus peel. With water the floral and citrus notes are enhanced. Dry with medium acidity and medium warming alcohol and touch of wood tannin. On palate, it has higher than medium intensity flavours of honey, citrus, malt, smoke with touch of earthiness. Fairly long length with grainy finish. (91)

以HIGHLAND PARK來說這是一個交到貨的威士忌，但不是一個有令人驚喜的酒品。有一定複雜性及餘韻，好酒一枝但不算太突出，隱約的煤泥味亦令酒有一定的層次，不錯的酒品。
