Of course I couldn't tell you with absolute certainty whether or not this Orkney Single Malt 2004 13 Years Old is really from Highland Park, but you know... It has to be, right?
That sulphury, meaty quality of Mortlach is instilled before maturation. Therefore, if you put it in a refill cask, its spirit shines, even at a young age.
When nosing and tasting this whisky, I was transported back to a great sherried Port Charlotte that I had reviewed last year. This Ballechin is a triumph for Edradour.
