Description
Highland Park, established in 1798 on the wind-swept Orkney Islands, is one of the few remaining distilleries to still use traditional floor maltings and locally cut heather-rich peat. This 16-year-old expression is a testament to the distillery’s “Viking Soul”, benefiting from a slow maturation in the cool, maritime climate of northern Scotland. For those looking to buy whisky in South Africa, this bottling is a sophisticated bridge between the vibrant fruitiness of American oak and the deeper spice of European oak, both seasoned with sherry. When you choose liquor delivery across South Africa from Decanter Liquor, you are securing a piece of Orkney’s rugged liquid history.
- Nose: Shortbread, waxy orange peel, pine resin and a subtle waft of smoke.
- Palate: Soft smoke lets vanilla and mixed nuts lead the way.
- Finish: Almond butter, a touch of tobacco and crunchy brown sugar.
To best enjoy this premium whisky in South Africa, we recommend serving it neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature. Adding a few drops of water can help open the bouquet further. Whether you are expanding your personal collection or looking for a prestigious gift, this Highland Park expression offers a masterclass in balanced island craftsmanship.
