Highland Park 18 Year Old Single Malt Maritime Whisky 70cl

Matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, this superb 18 Year Old single malt pays tribute to our 5 keystones of production and presents a sophisticated medley of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly harvested honeycomb and candied orange peel. There’s a whisper of Orkney’s salty seaspray in the aromatic peat smoke.

Age, experience and respect for tradition may define there whisky, but it’s Orkney that sets it apart. Something magic happens here and the result is the wild harmony of flavours found in there whisky.
