[Good/Very Good] This is a new release of Highland Park 1997, matured for 18 years from Douglas Laing's premium range, the Xtra Old Particular. It seems that it did not enter Japan, so a friend found it on an overseas site and brought it to Yurakucho. What was impressive were the nuances of fresh herbs rather than heather, in addition to the characteristic honey-like notes, and there was also a clear peat presence. This Highland Park gave off a Herb & Honey feeling, with the bourbon cask nuances subtly enhancing its flavor and making it delicious.
