Highland Park The Lunar Bottling Whisky 18 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold edges and a subtle mahogany glow.

Nose

Peat smoke, sea breeze, and heather honey lift the nose, brightened by orange zest. Beneath, dried fruits—sultana and fig—emerge with sherry-spice of cinnamon and clove, while vanilla, almond, and a whisper of oak lend a refined, lingering warmth.

Palate

Silky honeyed sweetness wraps a refined peat, with sherry-soaked raisin and fig threading through toasted almond. Vanilla and a hint of sea salt keep the palate elegant, while a measured body carries smoke and spice into a long, polished finish with cocoa and oak.

Finish

A long, ember-glow finish that lingers with dried fig and dark chocolate, wrapped in toasted oak and a whisper of sherry. Subtle peat and heather drift through the fade, leaving a coastal mineral lift and a warm, velvety afterglow.
