Highland Park 12 Year Single Malt Review

One of the best bargains in Scotch, this is a nuanced sipper that overdelivers on concentration and complexity of flavor. Honey, raisins, and malt aromas kick things off, with measured earthy smoke arriving soon after. A quick sip veers into dark chocolate and salted caramel territory, with more enticing peat following. This Scotch is well rounded and sippable, but you’d be crazy not to sample it in a summer highball.
