About Highland Park 18Yr
Highland Park 18 Year Old is a premium Single Malt Scotch from the Orkney Islands, produced by EDRINGTON GROUP USA LLC at 43% ABV (86 proof), available in 750ml bottles for $131.33. Matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks for 18 years, it delivers a harmonious balance of heather honey sweetness, rich sherry fruit, and subtle aromatic peat smoke, setting it apart in the Highland Park lineup as the 'Viking Pride' expression. Its complexity—blending fruity depth, gentle smokiness, and spicy oak—makes it special among Island malts, often praised for refinement over peat dominance. Ideal for connoisseurs seeking sophisticated sipping whisky, it suits contemplative evenings or special occasions. Compared to bolder peated Scots like Lagavulin 16, it's smoother and sweeter; versus sherry bombs like Macallan 18, it offers lighter smoke and coastal minerality, earning consistent high scores for balance and elegance.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens with restrained fruity sweetness from sherry influence—plums, raisins, apricots, cherries, and orange zest—layered with heather honey, toffee, and delicate floral notes like lavender. Subtle aromatic peat smoke evokes burning moss or heather, accented by hints of marzipan, dark chocolate, and autumn leaves. It's light yet intriguing, balancing delicacy with depth.
👅 Palate
Rich and creamy mouthfeel delivers robust sherry notes of toffee, honey, caramel, and dark fruits like cherries and sultanas, intertwined with oak, allspice, nutmeg, and black pepper spice. Gentle smoke builds mid-palate alongside orange blossom, dark chocolate, and a touch of brine or salty licorice, maintaining perfect sweet-smoky equilibrium. The texture is smooth and viscous, though some note it lighter at 43% ABV.
✨ Finish
Long, warming, and balanced, evolving from fruity sweetness and spice to woody oak, gentle peat smoke, and hints of chocolate-coated raisins or medicinal astringency. It lingers with clarity and chewable richness.
