Highland Park John Goodwin Whisky 35 Year Old · 1962 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold hues and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent and maritime, this nose unfolds with honeyed orchard fruits, dried fig, and almonds, drifted by subtle peat. Sherry cask maturity adds toffee, cocoa, and cinnamon, while sea-salt brine and a whisper of heather give Highland Park’s characteristic elegance and age-woven depth.

Palate

Silky and profound on the palate, smoke-kissed heather honey coats the tongue, balanced by rich dried fruit and citrus zest. Sherry influence yields plush vanilla, raisin and toffee, with a waxy oak underpinning. Subtle maritime salt and spice shimmer through the mid-palate, finishing long with refined peat warmth and a softly lingering sweetness.

Finish

Long and noble, the finish unfolds with dark fruit and cocoa from sherry, drifting into gentle smoke and sea-salt tang. Oak-woven spices—cinnamon, clove—emerge as the peat softens, leaving a silky, resinous warmth that lingers for minutes, inviting another sip.
