Spending eighteen years maturing in a high proportion of sherry-seasoned oak casks, this expression delivers an incredibly rich, full-bodied texture that coats the palate beautifully. It completely avoids the aggressive intensity of some island whiskies, opting instead for a wonderfully refined harmony between sweet, dried fruit and gentle, fragrant smoke. On the nose, it opens with an inviting wave of ripe cherry, dark cocoa, and a distinctive, sweet floral smoke. As you take a sip, the texture is remarkably thick and velvety, releasing complex layers of thick heather honey, toasted winter spices, and dark chocolate. The finish is incredibly long and deeply warming, leaving a lasting impression of sweet citrus and a quiet, aromatic wood smoke that lingers softly in the background. It is an extraordinary dram to slowly enjoy at the end of the evening. Serve it neat alongside a selection of mature, hard cheeses or a rich fruit dessert, allowing the natural warmth of the room to slowly unlock its incredibly complex aromas.[#intro]\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA wonderfully rich island malt balancing fragrant floral smoke with sweet honey and dark chocolate...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highland Park","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58586934608253,"sku":"HVHIGHLANDPARK18YO","price":135.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/HighlandPark18YearOldBT.jpg?v=1787685681","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/products\/highland-park-18-year-old-orkney-single-malt-scotch-whisky","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
