Highland Park Single Cask #1555 Whisky 12 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones; a honey-gold core that glows with molten bronze at the rim.

Nose

Warm maritime perfume of honeyed malt, orange zest and fig, layered with rich sherry sweetness. Subtle peat smoke weaves through, bringing a briny, coastal edge. Vanilla, toffee and polished oak mingle with dried fruit and spice, finishing with waxy fruit and a quiet, chocolate-dusted depth.

Palate

Opulent and full-bodied, the palate bursts with sherried richness—figs, raisins, honeyed apples—and dried apricots. Spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) entwine with a touch of peat and sea salt, while dark chocolate and toasted oak deepen the profile. A long, warming finish with lingering sweetness and gentle smokiness.

Finish

Long and warming, this finish marries peat smoke with rich sherry sweetness. Dried fruit lingers with orange peel and dark chocolate, while toasted oak and spice impart a maritime, resinous tail that slowly fades to a final kiss of smoke and warmth.
