Highland Park 18 Year Old

Thursday evening after work I decided to pick up a new bottle of scotch to try out. While I was really wanting another Islay malt I still have the Caol Ila left. I have tried a bottle from every region so far except one, Orkney.

This is a very very good scotch. It has a honeyed after taste. I never thought I would be able to taste a lot of the flavors I read about however I am starting to! I am really looking forward to exploring this one more to see what other flavors are in there!

It doesn't have the very smoky flavor of an Islay but there is some smoke present. I still believe that the Lagavulin 16 is still my favorite but this is a very good alternative.
