Comments:

A very spicy, fruity Highland Park, with an especially strong camphor taste. It's a little hard to drink because of that - I associate camphor with a strong-smelling Chinese herbal remedy my mother swore by for bruises. But since whisky is medicine (according to some old Irish bloke), maybe I should just shut up and chug it.

Verdict:

I like this.
