Highland Park 1971 Orcadian Vintage

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46.7%

Score: 95 Points

The nose on this Orcadian classic is full of Christmas cake, black cherries, almonds, and touches of smoke. The taste has notes of clives, honey, cocoa, and a hint of mangoes. The finish is very long with good spices and hints of raisins and plums.
