How to Drink
Neat
Highland Park is well-respected for being an all-rounder in style offering some of the coastal character typical of the islands, Islay, and coastal Highland whiskys, while also offering plenty of juicy fruit for Speyside fans to sink their teeth into. Highland Park has something to offer for a wide range of palates.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: Spicy and well-rounded, packed with the flavours of sun-kissed Seville oranges and rich fruitcake spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; you’ll find molten heather honey in this whisky’s waves of heathery peat smoke.
Method
Matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, Highland Park has been crafting their award-winning whisky at Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, since 1798.
Our Thoughts
Nose:Classic notes of dates and dried fruits on the nose, followed by caramel, light smoke and green banana peel.
Palate: In the mouth, this scotch has a rich and round mouthfeel with burnt bottoms of chocolate chip cookies and smoke that is well integrated on the mid-palate.
Finish: With toffee on the finish, this is an easy sipping, after dinner Scotch that would bode well for anyone looking to dip a toe in peat.
