Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Very pale straw gold — evoking Orkney's frozen winter landscape; among the lightest-colored Highland Parks
Nose
Fresh, clean, and mineral — heather honey, aromatic peat smoke, and bright citrus (lemon, lime). Fresh green apple, vanilla, and clean barley. Maritime saltiness and coastal air. Cold minerality evokes the ice theme. Floral heather and fresh grass. Similar philosophy to The Light but with its own distinct personality
Palate
Medium body at 53.9%. Clean and fresh with heather honey, aromatic peat smoke, and bright citrus. Green apple, fresh barley, and maritime salt. Light vanilla and gentle oak. The minimal cask influence reveals Highland Park's distillery character — peat, heather, honey, and Orkney's maritime air. Cold, clean minerality. Elegant and precise
Finish
Medium finish. Heather honey and clean peat smoke linger with bright citrus, maritime salt, and cool minerality. Fresh and invigorating — like the Orkney winter it represents
