Highland Park 2004 14 Year Old 'Gordon & Macphail' Connoisseurs Choice Whisky 700ml
As a bottling from a respected island distillery like Highland Park but matured and bottled by an independent like G&M, this dram shows a mix of core Highland Park character (peat, heather-honey, subtle smoke) with independent-style punch (cask strength, more raw intensity).
Nose: Initial impression: seaside-moss aroma transforming into tangy citrus (lemon) and sweet, soft notes like meringue or butter shortbread.
Palate: Warm cinnamon-bun sweetness glazed with brown sugar and sweet raisins.\
Finish: Medium finish with a lingering wood-smoke edge, a soft mix of toffee and toasted nuts.
