The Whisky Badger

Great whisky but overpriced.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2017

This is a great whisky. I've been drinking it for a while and the quality has gone down a bit imo but it's still very good. On the nose and palate it's mostly sweet. Toffee, oranges, green apples. On the palate, heather. It still does the sweet to dry thing Highland Park is famed for. However, the hint of peat smoke this used to have was almost entirely absent on the last bottle I had.

So why only 3 stars? Pricing quite simply. The owners who also own Macallan seem to be trying to push Highland Park into the luxury brand bracket alongside Macallan. This simply isn't worth over £100 a bottle. When other 18 years olds are in the £70-80 bracket. This is bottled at 43% rather than 46% and I suspect both chill-filtered and had artificial colouring added.

Check out the price of Macallan 18 year old Sherry Oak and see where Highland Park 18 is headed.

This will be £200 a bottle before long. Mark my words.

It will be used after Xmas dinner to warm the pallet as we sit and reflect on the year we've had.

Beautifully smooth whisky with nice fruit overtones, without doubt the finest whisky I have ever tasted, the reviewers who gave this a poor review have more then likely had their taste buds burned off with too many curries.

I've not tried them all yet, but this will take some beating. Wow! Check back in 40 years or so and I'll let you know if I find better.

You will leave time between nips as the amazingly long lasting smoky flavour fades to be replaced at the next nip by sweet Battenberg cake and back to fading smoke..a splendid dram.

Fantastic whisky but better available for £100

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2017

Configuration: Single

Make no mistake, Highland Park 18 is an excellent whisky. But compared to the 12 year old, which is one of, if not THE best value whisky on the market, the 18 year old has plenty of competition in the £100 market. There's additional depth of flavour and smoothness, with more honey than I was expecting, but for the same price, you can get some fantastic 21 or even 25 year old drams, such as the Glengoyne or Glendronach 21, and the Glenfarclas 25 is only a few pence more. The Glenmorganie 18 is also comparable quality, but normally found about £85-90. Don't get me wrong, this is a fine spirit, but the pricing is off, so rarely at the top of my shopping list as a result.

Exceptional quality

Slight peatiness wonderfully balanced with the Highland Park characteristic sweetness. Feels like a natural step up from the 12 yo in every way. Bottle design gorgeous as usual.

Bought for my dad as an 80th birthday present. He thought it was delicious (I’m not a whiskey person so will take his word for it)

Very fine indeed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2014

Configuration: SingleVerified Purchase

For me this has the same peaty, smokey texture of the 12 yr Highland Park but it has a slightly smoother taste. The after taste is smokey which turns into a sweet honey. Overall this is very well balanced and is a real treat to drink. would recommend to anyone who appreciates a single malt.
