Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rich warm amber with honeyed-gold tones
Nose
Sweet and approachable — heather honey, gentle peat smoke, and dried fruit. Sherry sweetness, vanilla, and warm oak. Light floral heather and a hint of toffee. Designed as an accessible entry to Highland Park's character — the gentle side of the Norse mythology range
Palate
Medium body. Heather honey, gentle peat smoke, and sweet dried fruit. Sherry influence with toffee, vanilla, and warm oak. Cinnamon and light spice. Approachable and smooth — foregrounding Highland Park's sweetness and honey character over smoke. A gentler, more easygoing expression
Finish
Medium finish. Heather honey and gentle peat smoke linger with dried fruit, toffee, and warm oak. Sweet, accessible, and comforting — bearing the bear's protective nature
