Chorlton Whisky - Orkney (Highland Park) 15 Year Old 2005

First up there is a 15 YO Orkney (from the more famous of the two distilleries) - a bottle with HP style but a bit different from HPs in the market. The nose starts with generous notes of oranges, sea water. There are notes of heather honey and a light hint of peat smoke afterwards - some lemon and olive oil cake as well. The palate is oily and chewy, with notes of lemony wax, smouldering wood, stewed cherries and berries, rose petals. It finishes with a fragrant note of heather.
