Highland Park Earl Magnus I

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 52.6%

Score: 93 Points

This 15-year-old bottling honors an Orkney ruler of long ago, and does Earl Magnus proud. The nose is cedar chips, lemon furniture polish, a hint of cinnamon and ginger. The taste is slightly smoky with notes of vanilla, lemon, and ginger, and the finish has a lemony tartness with a touch of cinnamon.
