My Tasting Note: Nose: fruity, savoury and meaty, but soft; the nose reminds me of figs or dates, filled with blue cheese, wrapped in prosciutto and toasted in a Panini grill; lots of honey, dark candied fruits, emerging dark spices and wood smoke; Palate: wonderful, chewy, sweet, honeyed and balanced with soft smoke; classic Highland Park; the honey is thick, sweet, coating and multilayered, as it tones down woody smoke, spices and soft-chocolaty peat start to emerge; there are some dried dark fruits, nutty sherry notes; and earthy tannins, but the honey rules the day; Finish: drying with dried dark fruits, some licorice, spices and soft earthy smoke; at the very end Jujubes and honey.
