New Release: Highland Park Official 'Sigurd' 43%

It had a notable sherry character with some typical qualities. Highland Park HIGHLAND PARK OB 'SIGURD' 43% The aroma features recent European oak sherry characteristics, dried fruits such as raisins, plum jam, orange with bitter chocolate, slight sulfur and acidity, smoky burnt grain notes, and a diverse range of elements. When drinking, the rich sherry character envelops the entire palate, with a dense plum jam sweetness and a pleasant astringency that tightens it up. It is meaty, slightly peaty, and rich, with a long finish. [Good/Very Good] The official bottle 'Sigurd' from Highland Park is the latest release in the Warrior series. Both aroma and flavor reflect the European oak sherry casks typical of the Edrington Group, incorporating characteristic sulfurous elements while maintaining Highland Park's house style complexity. Particularly in flavor, the sulfurous notes are not overly noticeable, with a rich taste where the youthfulness of the non-age statement is skillfully masked by a luxurious cask influence, resulting in a well-balanced profile. This is undoubtedly a promising sherry cask Highland Park that will continue to improve. Considering the addition of water, it may reach its full potential relatively quickly. I believe it's worth purchasing in advance.
