This 25-year-old expression from Highland Park is a masterful blend of 22 carefully selected casks, each chosen to bring out its marrying potential, depth of flavor, and captivating complexity.
Among these, 10 first-fill sherry-seasoned European hogsheads lead the way, infusing the whisky with intense, spicy notes that are beautifully balanced by the warmer, sweeter tones of American oak butts and hogsheads. Refill casks add a touch of refinement, rounding out the profile for a finish that is rich, layered, and full-bodied. After over two decades of maturation, the signature heathered peat reveals itself with a nuanced and aromatic flavor that is a true expression of the Orkney terroir.

PALATE
The warmth of spicy coriander seeds and aromatic notes of oregano seamlessly blend with the distinct heathered peat from Orkney.
FINISH
The finish is sweet and woody, with a hint of citrus peel.
