Highland Park, Blackadder Raw Cask, dist. Dec. 1985 bot. May 2006 , 58.3%

Tasted as a mystery malt.

Nose: Gooseberries and malt. Rasberry candy. Dry grass emerges when (quite a bit of) water is added.

Palate: Malt! Sweetness. Vanilla. A sharp/bitter note – not unpleasant.

Score: 8 out of 10 – I like it

Comments after the reveal: I was all at sea with the guesses here, first I tried with Bladnoch, then with an ex-bourbon Daluaine. The only thing I was right about was my guess that it wasn’t a youngster, though I suggested late teens (18ish).
