Highland Park 15 year old,

[sack]

Opened this bottle today for a tasting with some of my regular herfing friends today, sweetest taste i've ever experienced with a single malt but what a kick, there's hardly any liquor burn but i drank it with just some coffee and it really shook me up. After my head started spinning i look at the alcohol content and it's 54.4 PERCENT by volume. From now on i'll show it a bit more respect. :0

I have been wanting to try the Highland Park line of Scotches for some time. I keep reading great things about them. You might want to brace yourself over the whole scotch and coffee pairing tho I'm not so sure about that one!!

I hope that was WITH coffee and not IN coffee. Neither way are for me but if you like it then fine.

I should clarify that after my head started spinning from not haven eaten anything that morning i drank some coffee to just put something in my stomach. The cigar store didn't have anything to eat except chocolate, and i'm on a diet. Quite the experience i must say!

Highland Park is good stuff. Was this one of the bottlings they do for stores? I had a Highland Park 23 single cask that was bottled for Park Ave. Liquors and it was pretty friggin' enjoyable. As I recall, it was nearly 120 proof.

I'm a huge fan of the Highland Park 18. I had 2 drams of the 25 this weekend while at Casa Fuente which made for a really enjoyable experience.

Not really anything special, just right off the shelve. I've been reading the reviews and figured it was time to go up in the price scale. :thumbs:

HP line up is very very good. The 12 is a good everyday drnker and the 18yo is a favorite of mine. I still have 2 bottles left that I bought 2 years ago fro $69 each the price has gone up over $100 in most stores now.

Either way if you are a Scotch lover and like the Highland style malts definitely give one of their offerings a test run, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Just picked up a bottle of the 15yr flat bottle. The owner let me sample from an open bottle. I've heard the 15 is quite nice but i was still surprised. Very well rounded and very drinkable. i'm sure my bottle wont last!
