Like the Speyside I reviewed a while ago, this retails for £25, and now and again drops to £20. Like the Speyside, it's been crafted by Master Blender, Richard Paterson, it's excellent value for money, a fine whisky. It's quite sweet, smooth, but probably slightly harsher than the Speyside.
I prefer the Speyside, I like the sweet honeyness of it, I can't really put my finger on the flavours here, perhaps more caramel and fruit, not a bad thing necessarily, just an observation. I've seen other comments on the internet people comparing the two, saying they prefer the Highland to the Speyside, they're both very good, worth buying, at full price and definitely so when reduced.
I guess these are both good "beginner's" whiskies. They're not too complicated, not peaty, nothing overpowering, so good while you're beginning your journey, and still finding your feet, but maybe the whisky connoisseur would find them a bit too tame, there's nothing to get too excited about.
