Although Highland Park is recognized for its sherry casks, recent independent bottlings suggest their finest expressions might now emerge from bourbon barrels. This 20-year-old from Thompson Bros., exclusively distributed by K&L in California, demonstrates how the Orkney spirit shines without sherry-soaked wood. From the sweet and perfumed peat on the nose to its silky mouthfeel, it's an immediate pleasure. The creamy notes carry a gentle sweet peat, culminating in a prolonged finish that remains on the throat.
