Highland Park Sigurd
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 43%
Score: 93 Points
One of the three expressions in Highland Park’s Warrior Series, this single malt was matured in a combination of American and Spanish Oak casks. The nose has notes of sandalwood, cedar, a hint of campfire smoke, creme brûlée, straw, and a touch of tropical fruits. The taste brings together dried flowers with lemon zest and citrusy tartness, a touch of grilled pineapple, vanilla, and just a kiss of smoke. The finish is long and slightly tart with touches of lemon zest and a hint of pineapple. Excellent! (May, 2017)
