Between You & I 17
Between You and I by Laila Gohar
Between You and I by Laila Gohar is a 17-year-old single malt bursting with layers of flavour to spark the imagination. Sampling more than 80 casks throughout the creation process, Highland Park Master Whisky Maker Marc Watson selected casks inspired by Laila, her work and her Egyptian heritage. Led by new American oak casks, the whisky is an invigorating take on the classic taste of Highland Park, with vibrant notes of fruit, spice and creamy vanilla imparted by the new oak.
Explore Laila's imaginative tasting notes below through sensorial objects arranged in playful scenes, with Laila's idiosyncratic touch of the surreal.
Lost in thought
Tasting note: Leather
You step inside a museum in Cairo, Egypt. A centuries-old residence turned treasure house of history, the air is filled with the scent of polished wood and aged parchment. Leather-bound books line the walls, while Egyptian artefacts sit in dimly lit alcoves, each whispering stories from the past. Sunlight filters through intricate mashrabiya screens, casting shifting patterns across cool marble floors.
Bathed in sunlight
Tasting note: Orange Blossom
A courtyard in Andalusia, Spain, comes alive with citrus trees in full bloom. The air is filled with the scent of oranges and lemons, mingling with the earthy warmth of sun-baked terracotta tiles. Whitewashed walls reflect the afternoon light, while water trickles gently from an old stone fountain at the centre of the courtyard.
Close to the earth
Tasting note: Vanilla
You find yourself hiking up the slopes of a volcano on a tropical island. The night air is warm and heavy with the scent of damp earth, while lush foliage glistens with dew beneath the moonlight. Far below, waves crash against the shoreline. Looking down, you notice an open vanilla pod tucked amongst the dense undergrowth, a small and unexpected discovery in the darkness.
