Highland Park 17 Year Old – The Dark – 70cl 52.9%

This 17 year old limited edition from Orkney’s Highland Park distillery has been created in honour of the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, celebrated each December on the island. Matured in European oak sherry-seasoned casks and presented at a cask strength of 52.9% abv, only 28,000 bottles have been produced. Expect aromas of dried fruits, nuts and herbs that continue into the palate, where they are joined by distinctive notes of smoky peat.
