Highland Park – 18 Year Old

Highland Park 18 Year Old is a single malt from Orkney, matured mainly in first-fill European and American oak casks that were previously seasoned with sherry. The cask influence runs through the character of the whisky, which brings together dark chocolate, honeycomb, dried fruit and a thread of peat smoke, along with the heather-smoked style associated with the distillery. On the nose there is honey, cherries, dark chocolate and subtle smoke. The palate is rich with toffee, dried fruit, nutty oak and gentle spice, leading to a long, warm finish that is smoky and sweet.
