Highland Park, Triskelion, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (45.1%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
The maritime influence struck me first, I found the nose more savoury than any I have come across from the distillery. Quite umami: salty seaweed and charred salmon skin. The gentle, floral peat is worn really rather well - never getting lost amongst the big, first-fill oak, supporting and complimenting that character rather than shouting over it. The back-palate brings those deep, woody flavours. Roasted nuts, salted caramel, heather honey. The viscous, oily structure doesn’t quite compare to that of the older, age-statement Highland Parks, nonetheless there is plenty of texture there to support a delicious and complete dram.

About this spirit
Highland Park Distillery, Orkney
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
