Highland Park 20 Douglas Laing

Epollo mango iced tea! PERIOD! (Or is it straw amber?)

The full bodied nose draws you in with hints of citrus, pear, toffee, vanilla, cream, salt, and lady sandalwood.

The experience continues with the astringent rich flavor of chocolate, cream, pepper, truffle, charcoal, caramel, chocolate chip cookies, and piles of salt.

The long finish is complex and aromatic with expressions of citrus, charcoal, cinnamon, cream, butter, smoke, and lots of sea salt.

A very nice astringent dram with some smoke, sweet complexity and a pile of sale raining down on Paul Lenz.
