Highland Park 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750mL

Highland Park 18 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 750 mL | Orkney, Scotland | Aged 18 Years

Process & Profile

Highland Park 18 Year is a classic Orkney single malt known for balancing three things extremely well: rich sherry-cask depth, gentle aromatic peat, and a subtle coastal character. It’s matured using a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned oak, which builds a layered profile of dark fruit, honeyed sweetness, and cocoa-like richness, while Highland Park’s signature heather-peat smoke stays refined and never overpowering. At 86 proof, it drinks smooth and polished, making it an easy “special occasion” single malt that still feels full-bodied and complex.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Ripe cherries, bittersweet cocoa, honeycomb, candied orange peel, soft aromatic smoke

• Palate: Rich sherry sweetness, dried fruit, gentle spice, toasted oak, subtle peat

• Finish: Long and warming with lingering honeyed oak, fruit, and soft smoke

What Makes It Special

• Aged 18 years for deep, mature complexity and a long finish

• Orkney-style balance of sherry richness + gentle peat smoke

• Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) for a smooth but flavorful sip

• Often considered a top “step-up” bottle for customers moving into premium single malts

• Excellent gifting Scotch for collectors and special celebrations

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat to explore the fruit-to-smoke evolution, then add a few drops of water to lift citrus and honey notes. A single large cube softens the peat and draws out more cocoa and sherry sweetness. It also works beautifully as a slow after-dinner pour alongside dark chocolate or roasted nuts.
