- Description
- Highland Park's 18-year-old expression from the 1990s bottlings represents the distillery at a peak of refinement, balancing the signature peat with deep sherry maturation and a full-bodied structure. Expect honeyed orchard fruits, subtle smoke, heather, and a seamless integration of oak that speaks to careful cask selection. The mouthfeel is luxurious and warming, with a finish that stretches long and dry. A rounded, food-friendly dram that rewards quiet contemplation or follows a substantial meal.
