Evenings are sneaking up on us, and even sunny days have an autumnal edge.
The signs are easy to read – it’s Scotch season. Highland Park whiskies are lauded for their quality, and the latest release carries the standard. A nose of honeyed porridge and floral citrus is backed by whiffs of dried fruit and smoke. Honey and smoke follow on the palate with a warm, lingering nuttiness thanks to the time this whisky spends aging in sherry casks. Sweeter and more approachable than some peated Scottish single malts, it responds nicely to a spot of water.
