Highland Park Scottish Ballet 50

The Scottish Ballet is one of only 5 ballet schools in the UK. They were founded in 1969 and for their 50th anniversary, Highland Park decided to commemorate them and their artistic plays, with a special whisky release. The Highland Park Scottish Ballet, was bottled at 40%abv, has been matured in first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks and a smaller quantity of refill casks. On the nose, quite interesting. Sweaty clothes, a clean bath towel. Orange and orange cake. Chocolate, exactly like a "Kinder Bueno". After a couple of sips, the aroma changed into a cinnamon apple pie; Brie / camembert cheese and coffee with milk. On the palate, it started nice, but it got dimmer with each sip. Italian vanilla "Gelatto". Oranges, peppery. On the second sip it became very watery with a slight vanilla. It fell dramatically. Aftertaste is all about salt. Cigarettes, salt and pepper. Remarkably salty. Overall, this wasn't impressive, but I guess for the price (55$) you are getting more than what you paid for. Not a bad dram, some interesting notes here and there but fairly normal. The nose was the best part. My score for it is 81 over 100.
