Highland Park Whitlaw - Signatory Vintage Un-Chillfiltered Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2018 Vintage
In stock
Bottled by Signatory Vintage for the Un-Chillfiltered Collection, this 2018 Whitlaw was bottled in 2026 at 8 years old and 46% ABV. As a young Orkney single malt, it shows a fresher, more energetic side of the spirit, with the island character still very much to the fore.
At this age, the profile is likely to feel bright and direct, with honeyed malt, soft smoke and a gently coastal edge all working together. It makes for an approachable but characterful whisky, where the distillery style is allowed to stay front and centre without too much oak influence getting in the way.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Aromas of warm honey and soft beeswax rise beside delicate heather, a whisper of peat, and bright citrus zest. Juicy apples and pear mingle with vanilla, toffee, and gentle oak spice, while a sea-salt tang lends coastal brightness. A hint of dried fruit and almonds adds quiet depth.
Palate
Silky and balanced, the palate reveals honeyed apple and pear, bright orange zest, and vanilla cream. Malt sweetness with subtle toffee supports a touch of light peat and maritime breeze. White pepper and spice rise gradually, adding depth, while the finish lingers with citrus rind, gentle oak, and a whisper of salt.
Finish
An elegant, lingering finish where honeyed sweetness frames orchard fruit as gentle peat smoke threads through vanilla and spice. A zesty citrus lift brightens the palate, while oak echoes softly, leaving a warm, creamy fade that lingers with subtle coastal depth.
