Highland Park 21 (1959)

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 95 Points

You’ll probably never get to try this, but it’s worth knowing what old-school single malts tasted like. The nose has great smokiness, mango and grapefruit notes, and some brininess. The taste is smoky and peppery with a muted touch of citrus underneath, and the citrus notes linger nicely on the finish. If you’re ever offered a chance to taste this, go for it!
