Murray' Retaste of Highland Park 10, 40% ABV.

[Quaich1]

Here are my retaste notes from today for this one. Please note it is the North American offering at 40% ABV. (not the Ambassador's Choice).

Color: Amber jello

Nose: Exuberant orange rind awakens with a coming-out party for tangerines. Rice pudding surfaces with flecks of nutmeg. Thin slices of papaya come to mind.

Taste: Medium to full-bodied. Fruity sweet, drying, smoky oak protuberances delight along with a sip of chocolate malted milk like the "soda jerks" of old used to serve when pharmacies offered food.

Finish: Long, orange citrus with a halo of light cocoa. The subdued sweetness last and lasts.

Comments: A younger Highland Park, full of personality and strutting its stuff, wanting to be seen.

Score: 85
