Highland Park 16 yo single cask #5831 for Maxxium 58.7%

Orkney malt at cask strength is always a pleasure... Especially when it's single cask :)

Let it be dedicated to Sir Michael Jackson, I think he would have liked this one.

Highland Park 16 yo 1990/2006 single cask #5831 58.7% - 1272 bottles released for Maxxium Netherlands. 

Nose: very intense, heather honey, sweet oranges, leather and mint, delicious!

Taste: powerful and spicy, oranges, pepper, lots of heather and salt.

Finish: long one on oranges, spices, coffee and mint. 

Overall: real HP sherry bomb. Maybe here you've got sherry cask dominating over the spirit itself, but I like this type of domination :) 

Score: 23 22 23 22, 90/100!
