Highland Park Mackillop's Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Deep, burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Unfolds with dried fig and raisin, orange zest and honey, layered over dark chocolate and toffee. Sherry warmth deepens the fruit as a coastal breeze—salt air and a whisper of peat—weaves through, with toasted almond and spice notes (cinnamon, clove) completing the bouquet.

Palate

Velvety and opulent, this Highland Park delivers rich dark fruit—figs, raisins and orange zest—set in treacle-edged sweetness. Subtle peat smoke lingers beneath caramelized oak with toasted almond notes. The sherry influence broadens the palate into warm spices—clove and cinnamon—yielding a long, luxurious finish of fruit, leather and chocolate.

Finish

Opulent, long finish where sherried sweetness envelopes Highland Park’s subtle peat. Dried fig and date mingle with vanilla, leather and toasted oak, then a whisper of spice and smoke lingers, fading to warm cocoa and almonds.
