Highland Park Heather
Heather (or heather honey) is one of the most common tasting notes in Highland Park whisky. The island of Orkney has no trees so the local peat has abundant heather at its base. It's no surprise the distillery named an expression after it.This new packaging is fairly modest and refreshing. No viking elements, just graphical things and a pink / purple colour scheme that doesn't seem to aim for the classical whisky audience. There's no age statement but we've heard Highland Park Heather ages for around 11 years.Let's see how this compares to the Cask Strength release I had a couple of months ago.
