Highland Park The Light 17 Year Old Cask Strength is a bold, citrus-forward single malt from Orkney, aged 17 years and bottled at cask strength. It delivers a bright honeyed sweetness accented by orchard fruits, vanilla, and warm spice, with a refined touch of maritime character and a subtle, balanced smoke. A robust but approachable dram, suitable for sipping neat or with a splash of water.
Tasting notes
Aroma: Bright citrus zest, honey, apple and pear fruits, vanilla, heather, and a light, smoky undercurrent.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety; orange and lemon notes meet honeyed sweetness, with toffee, dried fruit, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg). Oak provides structure, while a gentle smoke weaves through.
Finish: Long and warming; spice-driven with citrus echo and a final trace of oak and smoke.
