What an insane nose, explosion of flavor and brilliant balance-this Secret Highland is pure delight! Old style malt dominates, with hints of leather, an earthy edge and both ripe and dried fruits. As it opens, subtle dried herbs and delicate tobacco notes emerge. The finish is lively and tingly, a perfect repetition of all previous impressions. As if the palette is replaying itself, but softer and deeper. A subtle hint of peat smoke lingers. With hand warmth, it becomes even more complex and layered-breathtakingly good!
