- Description
- Highland Park's third independent bottling from Decadent Drinks, this 21-year-old marries a refill hogshead and first-fill sherry butt to create a ruggedly sherried expression at 52.9% ABV. The nose carries the warmth of Jerez bodegas alongside peat smoke, earth, hazelnuts, and salted chocolate—a marriage of maritime peat and wine cask influence. Rich and textured on the palate, this whisky suits those seeking Highland Park's signature heather and smoke tempered by substantial sherry depth.
