Highland Park Orkney Islands Aged 12 Years 1990's Bottling

On the nose: it posses that airy nature and the orange is still there but it’s more fruity overall with apples being noticeable. A delicate smokiness. More cereal based now and memories of putty are revived, grapefruit towards the end with mint leaf and chilli flakes.
