Highland Park Vintage Cask #2794 Whisky 1986 Vintage

Colour

Dense amber-gold with copper highlights and a hint of mahogany, a sun-warmed, honeyed glow.

Nose

Sherry-drenched fruit and coastal air rise from the glass: dried fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, toffee and dark chocolate, kissed by vanilla. Underneath, Highland Park’s subtle peat glows with sea-salt and iodine and a whisper of heather honey, while warming spice completes the bouquet. Rich, poised and inviting, it promises depth beyond.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Highland Park unfurls a sherry-kissed tapestry of dark fruits—figs, cherries, prunes—beneath a caramel-laden sweetness. Spices rise: ginger, clove, nutmeg, integrated with a refined peat whisper and sea-salt tang. The palate coats with lacquered oak, a touch of cocoa, and orange zest, leading to a long, resinous finish.

Finish

Long, contemplative finish with coastal smoke and rich sherry sweetness. Dark fruit deepens against lacquered oak as the peat lingers, warmed by cinnamon and nutmeg. The high ABV carries a honeyed, resinous tail that fades slowly to toasted almonds, cocoa, and a whisper of salt.
