I noticed that in those Whiskeys Will how nice and clear they looked...they appear to be very tasty
Chris, funny you mention Highland Park, love that Scotch and not many people have come to enjoy it that I know. Also not found much in the resturants and bars.
A whisky don't get brown like that Tony: They are often colored with caramel sugar by the maker to give an aged appearance or a similar color from cask to cask.
It can modify slightly the taste as well.
Without this process, many of those whiskies would have a yellow "piss" color that is in fact natural for a whisky who's not very old and matured in special casks.
Laphroaig is using coloring in it's regular whisky as many other known brands.
I could taste the caramel in some known Scotches and it's very unpleasant specially when you know that it's not coming from the cask maturating.
