- Description
- Highland Park's 1986 spirit aged in hogshead 2274 and bottled at cask strength by Signatory as one of 235 single casks represents the Orkney distillery's classic peated-and-sherried profile at its most concentrated. Sherry maturation rounds the distillery's natural heather, honey, and light peat character into rich layers of dried fruit, spice, and subtle leather, while cask strength reveals the spirit's underlying power and grip. The texture is full and warming, with a persistent finish of peat smoke, dried stone fruits, and oak tannin. A benchmark expressions for collectors of classic Orkney whisky.
