Mind you, I do not ordinarily judge a malt by its box, but ....
Years ago I found Highland Park and it was wonderful, a little smoke and peat, and a deep rich taste. Then, it came in a round cardboard tube.
Sometime later, when I looked for another HP, I found it in a square cardboard box. I remember finding it rather bland, nowhere near as tasty as the earlier expression. I remember at the time writing about this to Johanna (when she favored us with her presence here).
Well, yesterday I found HP in a new container -- a round tin tube. Thought I'd give it another try. And you know, it seems more like the old HP. I really enjoyed it last night. I will get more.
Altho, the guy at the local ABC store told me to enjoy it while I can 'cause it's been delisted here. Rats.
