- Description
- Highland Park's 2000 vintage, matured for 22 years in a refill hogshead and bottled exclusively for Whisky Show 2023, showcases the distillery's signature balance of peat and maritime character. Sooty citrus and barbecue sauce on the nose give way to heather, honey, and tightly wound smoke on the palate, with ginger adding spice throughout. The well-integrated peat and rich texture make this a refined expression of Orkney's most celebrated distillery.
