Highland Park 1997 The Sword (N/Acl, 43.00%)

Distilled in 1997, this exceptional Highland Park expression, known as The Sword, captures the rugged spirit of its Orkney island home. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated balance of heather honey and subtle coastal salinity, leading into a palate rich with deep, warming peat smoke, dried fruits, and a touch of aromatic spice. The finish is remarkably long and smooth, leaving behind a lingering essence of sweet malt and charred oak that defines the distillery's legendary character.
