I am looking forward to tasting the Highland Park lineup at the upcoming Whisky Live.

Thanks for the thread Rusty! I've just spent a pleasant 2 1/2 hours watching the Highland Park videos...time well spent.

has anyone tried the Global Travel Retail series?

i grabbed a bottle of the 1994 on a recent holiday and man is this whisky smoooooooooooth.

almost too smooth just a hint of smoke a bit of caramel here and there

needless to say the bottle didn't last long

I had a bottle of 1998 and it was really delicious. I got it on special for 35 euros but now it is over 50 euros so I passed.

crushed a bottle of the 1998 in Havana in November. Still have 1 additional bottle of 1998 and 2 bottles of 1990 HP to crack open.

I've tried the 18 and the 25 and loved them both! HP is my fav scotch at the moment.

I have a bottle of the 1994 as well. I haven't opened mine yet, but I'm glad to hear its enjoyable.

I found all of these video reviews a couple of weeks ago. They impressed me enough to want to try to Learn more about scotch. So now while I am on my cigar education journey I find myself ready to start my scotch journey! (as my wide rolls her eyes)

here's a new one

Nice thread revival

Whoever wrote that comment about Octomore should have his taste buds examined though - 140ppm of peat! Just suck on a piece of charcoal for the same effect. $140 for a 5 year-old single malt saved

I kid, I kid!

Octomore is one of my all time fav's. Not a good choice with a cigar though as it will overpower pretty much anything.

Had the 18 year old at a Scotch tasting recently. Definately worth the money.

Can't speak for the 21, 25, 30, 40, or 50 year olds!

The 18 YO is my choice. Highland Park is like Macallan in that they age their scotch in Sherry refill casks-- so keep that in mind before spending the $ if you are not into sherried Scotch's...
