Highland Queen 1561 30 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky. Image courtesy Highland Queen. This 30-year-old blend has a creamy and well-balanced nose with notes of honey, toffee, vanilla, and hints of oak. The taste is rich and spicy with clove, cinnamon, juicy citrus fruits, and a good balance. The finish is medium-length, smooth, and fruity. (January, 2015)
