Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich golden amber with warm copper tones; intense and full-bodied appearance
Nose
Intensely concentrated Highland Park character at full cask strength. Heather honey, bold peat smoke, dried fruit, and rich sherry. Vanilla, orange peel, dark chocolate, and warming oak. The higher ABV amplifies every element — honey is richer, smoke is bolder, fruit is more intense. Needs a few drops of water to open fully
Palate
Powerful and intensely concentrated at 64.1%. Heather honey, bold aromatic peat smoke, rich dried fruit (raisin, fig), and dark chocolate. Orange marmalade, warm oak spice, cinnamon, and clove. The cask strength delivery punches through with intensity while maintaining Highland Park's signature balance. With water, it opens beautifully into waves of honey-smoke-fruit. Full, oily body
Finish
Long, powerful finish. Concentrated heather honey and bold peat smoke persist with dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warming oak spice. The higher strength extends the finish significantly, with smoke and honey trading dominance as it fades
