Summary

Highland Park 16-year-old Twisted Tattoo is a single malt whisky that embodies the rich heritage of Scottish whisky-making. Aged for 16 years, this spirit offers a complex and mature profile that appeals to both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers. The maturation process in a combination of Spanish Rioja wine casks and first-fill bourbon casks imparts a unique character to the whisky, blending the sweetness of dried fruits with a subtle spiciness.

On the nose, this whisky presents a bouquet of rich, dried fruits, intermingled with hints of vanilla and oak. The palate is equally rewarding, offering a deep and rich flavor profile that includes notes of dark chocolate, raisins, and a touch of nutmeg. The influence of the Rioja wine casks adds a layer of complexity, bringing out a subtle sweetness that balances the overall richness.

The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering taste of dried fruits and a gentle warmth. This whisky is perfect for those who appreciate a well-rounded and deeply flavorful spirit. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it promises a memorable tasting experience that highlights the craftsmanship of Highland Park distillery.
