Highland Park 21YO (2023 Box)

Highland Park 21 Year Old (2023 Box) is a distinguished single malt from Orkney, known for balancing gentle island smoke with rich sherry cask character. It’s a refined release that showcases the distillery’s signature style: complex, elegant, and unmistakably shaped by its northern Scottish origins.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep amber-gold whisky with inviting layers of dried fruit, honey, toasted spice, and subtle heathery peat. On the nose, it typically opens with aromas of orchard fruit, citrus peel, vanilla, and warm oak, followed by Highland Park’s characteristic floral smoke and a hint of maritime salinity. The palate is rich and rounded, with notes of raisins, dark chocolate, dried figs, cinnamon, and malty sweetness, balanced by earthy peat and a light coastal edge. The finish is long, warming, and gently smoky, with excellent aging depth and plenty of nuance from its 21 years in cask.

Production
Highland Park is made in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands, where the cool maritime climate and slow maturation help shape its distinctive profile. The distillery is known for using a combination of sherry-seasoned oak casks and lightly peated malt, creating a whisky that combines sweetness, spice, and smoke in a very measured way. As a 21-year-old release, this expression reflects extended cask influence and careful maturation over many years.

Food & Serving
Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the darker fruit and smoke. It pairs well with aged cheeses, smoked salmon, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, or a fine cigar. Serve at room temperature, and decanting is not necessary, though allowing it a few minutes in the glass will help the aromas unfold.

Producer
Highland Park is one of Scotland’s most admired single malt distilleries, founded in 1798 and located in Orkney’s rugged island landscape. It has built a strong reputation for producing balanced, characterful whiskies with a distinctive interplay of peat smoke, sherry richness, and coastal freshness. Over the years, the distillery has earned global recognition for quality and consistency across its core and age-statement releases.
