- Description
- Highland Park's 1991 vintage matured for 15 years in ex-sherry cask and bottled at full strength by Lorne Mackillop, bringing the distillery's characteristic heather and peat into sharp focus against rich sherry influence. The palate shows dark fruit, spice, and a warming alcohol presence that drives the flavour deep into the finish. The texture is viscous and mouth-coating, with layers of orchard fruit and woodsmoke that linger long. Ideal for those seeking an uncompromised, sherried version of Highland Park's peat-and-honey character.
