- Description
- Highland Park's lightly peated 1990 distillate, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail at natural cask strength, spent 17 years maturing in a first-fill sherry butt to reach exceptional depth. The combination of gentle smoke and first-fill wood creates a complex palate of honey, heather, dark berries, and subtle leather with an almost creamy mouthfeel. A benchmark example of how sherry cask influence can elevate Orkney's restrained peat. For experienced drinkers who appreciate nuance and intensity in equal measure.
