Comments:

Very flavourful, and quite salty. I had not expected such a young Highland Park to have such depth of flavour. There is a light hit of new plastic, something quite chemical at the back of the mouth, as well as on the finish that I find a little unpleasant. Otherwise quite enjoyable.

Verdict:

I like this.
