Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Warm amber with distinctive reddish-pink tones from Rioja wine cask influence; unique and eye-catching
Nose
Unusual and intriguing — red berry fruit (raspberry, strawberry) from Rioja casks layered over Highland Park's heather honey and peat smoke. Vanilla from bourbon casks, cinnamon, and gentle oak. The wine influence adds a jammy, berry-forward dimension not found in standard HP expressions
Palate
Medium-full body. Red berry fruit (raspberry, strawberry, red currant) from Rioja cask finish interwoven with heather honey and aromatic peat smoke. Vanilla, toffee, and warm oak from bourbon casks. Cinnamon, gentle pepper, and a touch of dark chocolate. The Rioja influence creates a unique HP expression — fruity and vinous, but the peat-honey backbone remains unmistakable
Finish
Medium-long finish. Red berry fruit and heather honey linger with gentle peat smoke and warm oak. The Rioja sweetness fades through vanilla and gentle spice. A distinctive and memorable Highland Park twist
