Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep reddish amber with copper-flame highlights — evoking fire; distinctively warm and intense
Nose
Bold, warm, and fiery — heather honey, amplified peat smoke, and rich port wine sweetness. Red berry fruit (blackcurrant, plum), charred oak, and dark chocolate. Cinnamon, black pepper, and clove spice. The port pipes and charred casks create a more assertive, warming character. Treacle and orange peel
Palate
Full-bodied and intensely warm. Heather honey, bold peat smoke, and rich port wine sweetness. Red berry fruit, charred oak spice, and dark chocolate. Cinnamon, clove, and warming black pepper. Treacle toffee and bitter orange. The port influence adds vinous depth while the charred oak amplifies smokiness and spice. A fiery, assertive Highland Park — the counterpart to Ice's cool restraint
Finish
Long, warm, and spicy finish. Bold peat smoke and port wine sweetness persist with charred oak, dark chocolate, and warming spice. Heather honey provides underlying sweetness as the fire slowly fades. Powerful and memorable
