Product Information

At least that's what the manager told me was wrong with the bottle. I don't blame Highland Park. Accidents happen. Still, I don't think it was cork rot. I think it was a quality control issue in the batch I ended up with. But, still, I don't fault Highland Park. I've been buying HP18 for years and the quality was great every time but lately. The nose of that bottle smelled like a cheap bourbon. That's what I thought and that's what the manager of the liquor store reported upon smelling it (without my mentioning it). From my experience, cork rot is more of a mossy, sharp smell that reminds me of mildew and tastes mildewy as well. Aberlour-Glenlivet 19 yo 1995/2014 (52.6%, Cadenhead, Wine Cask, Sauternes finish, 264 bottles) - 230617 Sweet & Fruity with some Sour, Herbal and Floral elements. The Alcohol is not fully integrated. The Sherry cask influence is noticeable but not overwhelming. I am drinking the Ab18 now - and tremendously enjoyable. I look forward to these other 18s - I will add them to my list.
