Highland Park The Macphail's Collection Whisky 27 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper edges and honeyed, sunlit-gold highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dark fig and orange zest, layered with honeyed toffee and a gentle peat smoke. Maritime brine weaves through almond, cedar, and old oak, while hints of spice and dark chocolate deepen the bouquet. Polished and mature, it promises a refined, lingering sweetness from decades in cask.

Palate

Silky and poised, the palate opens with orchard fruit and honey, braided with rich sherry influence. Dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate unfold, complemented by toasted almond, vanilla, and a touch of spice. Subtle peat and sea-salt weave through the mid-palate, with hints of leather and orange zest. The finish is long, refined, and distinctly coastal—warm, balanced, and quietly luxurious.

Finish

Long and opulent, the finish gathers dark fruit and smoke into a velvet embrace. Rich sherry sweetness lingers, with orange zest, raisin and almond, while a gentle peat echo drifts alongside warm spice and oak. Maritime notes rise briefly before fading to a refined, smoky glow.
