Highland Park's Twisted Tattoo combines whisky aged in Spanish Rioja wine seasoned casks with whisky aged first-fill bourbon casks - a wonderful combination indeed! Inspiration for this one came from the Viking legend of the Midgard Serpent, which got itself twisted around the world to bite its own tail. You can even see said serpent on the bottle's label, designed by tattoo artist Colin Dale.
Nose: Roasted red berries, shortbread, a whiff of sea spray.
Palate: Peppery malt, orange oil, vanilla, cut grass, blueberry muffin and buttered malt loaf.
Finish: Boozy red wine tannins and soft smoke.
