Highland Park the dark 17 Years 750 ml

Highland Park is an Orkney distillery known for balancing peat smoke with sherry-cask sweetness, a house style distinct from both the heavily peated Islay malts and the fruit-forward Speyside style. This bottling is the 17 Year expression, giving more time for the sherry cask influence to deepen into dried fruit, honey and dark chocolate notes, while Highland Park's characteristic gentle smoke and heather-honey sweetness remain underneath. Expect a well-balanced, complex single malt built for slow sipping. It doesn't demand any particular glassware — a standard rocks glass or a simple tulip does the job just fine.

How to drink Highland Park 17 Year

Drink it neat and give it time — the balance between smoke and sherry sweetness at this age rewards a slower, more deliberate tasting than a quick pour.
