Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Bright golden straw; notably lighter than sherry-influenced Highland Park expressions
Nose
Bright, fresh, and bourbon-forward — a dramatically different Highland Park. Vanilla, coconut, and sweet bourbon oak. Heather honey and gentle peat smoke remain as HP's signature, but framed by American oak brightness. Fresh citrus, toffee, and light caramel. Floral and clean
Palate
Medium body. Bright vanilla, coconut, and sweet American oak from exclusive bourbon cask maturation. Heather honey and gentle peat smoke provide the Highland Park identity, but the delivery is entirely different — lighter, brighter, more vanilla-forward. Toffee, light caramel, citrus zest, and biscuit malt. The absence of sherry lets the spirit and peat character shine with clarity
Finish
Medium finish. Vanilla and coconut from bourbon casks linger with heather honey, gentle peat smoke, and clean oak. Bright and refreshing — a stripped-back Highland Park revealing the spirit's inherent character
