CELEBRATION IN A GLASS

This 30 year old Highlander comes in at 49.2% and is from a refill hogshead.

Flavour profile:  Old & dignified

Outturn:  196

Panel's tasting note:  "Calming and relaxing were the first comments after a long   silence in the Panel. One could literally hear the deep breathing – aromas of treacle sponge, roasted chestnuts, beeswax, roasted orange slices, and a tropical rum trifle. The taste has depth, layers of flavour which are all subtle and harmonizing creating an experience that is hard to describe; tangy marmalade, prosciutto ham served with melon balls soaked in brandy as well as a well-aged Riesling. With a drop of water now like a Trockenbeerenauslese, rich texture but also juicy, enormous weight and depth and an almost salty tanginess at the finish – you just have to experience that!"

Drinking tip:  "Life in itself is worth one big celebration"
