Tasting Notes

Nose

Heather, highland roses, brown sugar, butter toffee, lemon crêpe, light peat, sherry nuttiness, oiled leather — the cask strength concentrating every note

Palate

Hot pepper and nutmeg upfront then buttery dark honey, maple syrup, sea salt, toffee, citrus zest, sultanas, summer fruits — heather peat smoke in the background

Finish

Long, earthy, warm and smoky — lingering lemon zest, the full proof delivering intensity the 12 Year Old only hints at

Expert Review

8/10

Highland Park's first cask strength release (2020). Matured in sherry-seasoned American oak, hand-selected by Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion. The Orkney heather peat at full proof — 63.3%. Drinkhacker: A-. 'A gorgeous dram.' The balance between sherry sweetness and heather peat at cask strength is remarkable.
