Nosing: Sweet Peat Smoke Malt

Taste: Sweet Oil Oak Peat Smoke Lemon Peel Maritime Notes

Finish: medium-short

Comment: Decent budget scotch. Not speyside in style as the name "Highland Cream" may imply. If you want a budget peaty offering this is a goer - 75/100

Nosing: Peat Smoke Malt Vanilla Grape Berries Alcohol Oak
Surprisingly light and pleasant. Smoky, fenolic notes and maltiness in the foreground and some fresh, jucy fruityness (like dark fruits, maybe some dark grapes) in the back.

Taste: Sweet Vanilla Caramel Peat Smoke Alcohol Nutmeg
Smoth, creamy and initially sweet becomes more dry after a few seconds on a tongue and palate. Can't get rid off taste of rosemary from my head when drinking the whisky. There is also some nutmeg.

Finish: Peat Smoke Spices Nutmeg Alcohol
Leaves a bit oaky aftertaste with a bit of smokiness in the back. Cannot feel ugly metalic notes in aftertaste which are almost always available for young alcohols.

Comment:
I really know why it's called a Highland Cream - it's just smooth. Smoke is not overwhelming and alcoholic notes are not harsh. Teacher's is simple and nice. It's a good choice for an evening with a book where you wan't to concentrate on the lecture instead of whisky.

Giving it 3 out of 5 as a final rate.
