Highland Park Hjarta Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany-tinged edges and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Unapologetically rich and maritime, Hjarta unfurls peat smoke with honeyed barley and treacle sweetness. Dried fig and almond mingle with dark cocoa, toffee, and a touch of sea salt, while oak spice and a whisper of sherry deepen the fruit and smoke.

Palate

Full-bodied and warming, this cask-strength Highland Park unfolds peat smoke wrapped in sherry-soaked richness. Dark fruits—fig, raisin, plum—mingle with honeyed vanilla and orange zest, while spice-kissed oak adds depth. A saline, maritime pull carries through to a long, chocolate-leather finish with lingering peat.

Finish

Long, warming finish with coastal peat and generous sherry sweetness, vanilla and fig mingling with dark chocolate and spice. A kiss of oak and resin lingers as the smoke recedes, leaving a dry, refined salute that calls for the next sip.
