Highland Park 30 Year Old merits time and attention. It has spent 30 years maturing so treat it with respect; you’ll discover the characteristic fudge sweetness together with complex aromatic spices and dark chocolate orange. It has a drying finish, leaving a gentle smoky flavour and a mildly salty aftertaste – the result of 30 years ageing in the Orkney sea spray.

Natural colour; dark red golden, clear and bright. Very rich on the nose, mature oak, chocolate and fudge. Full, rich burst of flavour; soft honey; nutty toffee. Rich, long finish and surprisingly sweet for its age.
