- Description
- Highland Park's 1989 distillate spent 24 years in a Sherry hogshead—a generous cask that has imparted profound richness to this Island single malt. Dark dried fruit, cocoa, leather, and warming spice dominate the palate, with the cask's influence woven throughout every note. The mouthfeel is thick and enveloping, with a long finish edged in oak and dried cherry. A Sherry-forward expression best savored by those who appreciate bold wood influence and the depth that only a quarter-century of maturation can deliver.
