Highland Park Thorfinn 700ml*
Only
$1,890.00
60% first fill casks. Thorfinn was a man of much power and influence, who at one stage controlled the whole of the Orkney Islands. The Orkneyinga Saga described him as a great chief, the tallest and strongest of men whose remains are buried in St Magnus Cathedral on Orkney.
Colour: A fairly full deep reddy copper with lighter gold tones running through.
Nose: A fuller dunnage / old oak cask nose going on here, with just a touch of lactic acid(?) which tales off thankfully after a few moments leaving eucalyptus and cedar wood notes along with sweet autumn berries and gentle sherry christmasness and spice.
Palate: Pretty thick mouthfeel here, at first you think it?s smooth, but then spices kick in reminding you of Thorfinn?s power! It?s sweet, with wispy heathery sweetness amongst the gentle peat smoke. There?s American Oak sherry casks giving a menthol hit that turns up stronger in the finish.
Finish: A fresh slightly minty menthol kick, yet fruity and sweet. It?s fairly old and complex and stays around your palate for ages.
