Highland Park Blackadder Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 8 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Warm honeyed fruit leans into heather and vanilla oak, with a delicate peat whisper. A sea breeze threads through, bringing salted caramel, dried citrus, and faint smoke. Sherry influence deepens with raisins and a touch of leather, while spice and mineral notes keep it elegantly balanced. A refined, inviting aroma that lingers with grace.

Palate

Silky and richly sherried, with dark fruit, fig and honeyed malt. Subtle coastal peat lends a gentle maritime warmth, while almond and orange zest lift the palate. Cinnamon and clove spice threads through toasted oak, cacao and toffee. Long, elegant finish with malt, sweet smoke and a final kiss of spice.

Finish

Long, warming finish of peat smoke and coastal brine, fading into honeyed malt. Sherry-tinged sweetness returns as raisin and almond unfold, followed by a gentle spice and oak that linger with a resinous, maritime kiss.
