This whisky embodies both elegance and depth, delivering a luxurious and lingering finish—worthy of its lofty reputation
Origins & Maturation

Matured for 25 years in a carefully selected blend: approximately 10 first-fill European sherry hogsheads, supplemented with American sherry-seasoned hogsheads and butts, plus refill casks to harmonize flavor.
-
Bottled at 46% ABV, non‑chill filtered, offering a deep copper tone of natural hue.
Nose (Aroma)
Opens with dried fruits, acacia honey, crème brûlée, peach, satsuma, and pistachio biscotti, layered with citrus zest and subtle heathered peat smoke—a fragrant, indulgent bouquet
Palate & Texture
Silky and full-bodied, delivering spicy coriander seed, oregano, sweet vanilla, and gentle peat. The palate balances fruit and spice with a nourishing warmth, weaving in rich sherry influence and oak spices gracefully

Often hailed as “the very essence of the Scottish island,” it showcases Highland Park’s signature heathered smoke alongside profound complexity.
- "A beautifully fragrant dram, intensely honeyed, with sunflower seeds, coconut cupcakes, and vanilla buttercream frosting, fruity sherry notes of cherry, summer berries, orange peel, zesty lemon and lime, aniseed, and ashy smoke. Its flavors are fresh and bright, bursting with citrus peel, sweet orange, lemon zest, and warm honey, leading into spiced orange, sweet berries, apricot, toffee, and milk chocolate, with a lengthy finish of smoke and peppery spice." 95 Points, John McCormick for the Whisky Advocate
