First released in 1997, Highland Park immediately found favour with whisky writers and enthusiasts all over the world. It is a perfectly balanced single malt with a toffee sweetness and a mouthwateringly smokey finish.

Review by Trebor9
- Color
- Dark Amber colour with Gold highlights
- Nose
- Wonderful nose of heather, honey jam and a wisp of peat smoke.
- Body
- Medium full bodied and quite oily.
- Palate
- Great first taste of honey, smooth spice, low peat and mouth clinging smokiness.
- Finish
- Long warming finish of syrup, spice and peat - with a lingering but not overpowering slight peat smoke. An absolute classic Island malt.

Review by Insinuendo
- Color
- Deep, dark amber
- Nose
- Dark maple syrup, walnuts, butterscotch, toffee, coffee…What a nose! Makes your mouth water.
- Body
- Full bodied.
- Palate
- This is a delectably smooth approach to malt. Rich, smooth, mellow, full and savoury, the nose follows through nicely. Hot and spicy and lengthy.
- Finish
- The finish will go on 20-30 seconds undetered.
Seeking something scrumptious? Indulge yourself with a gorgeous bottle of this fine Scotch.

Review by ColoradoDram
- Color
- Medium dark amber
- Nose
- Complex, honey, tar, heather, a gentle metallic smoke
- Body
- Oily, full-bodied, quite cool on the tongue
- Palate
- Gently smoked honeycomb, subtle Cuban tobacco, flowers and leather bring up the rear, incredibly complex - like an elder blend. Adding 2 drops of water introduces toffee, licorice, and gentle pepper.
- Finish
- Unbelievably smooth, medium warm, upper-medium length - add a couple drops of water if you desire to increase warmth and length without introducing any acidity (though you do sacrifice some creamy/oily mouthfeel).
The most balanced and flavor-rich single malt I've had (of over 70 tasted to date). I cannot find a flaw in this scotch.

Review by Eddie
- Color
- Dark Gold
- Nose

- Body
- Medium and a Little Syrupy.
- Palate
- Citrus, Toffee a little Smoky and a slight Burn but in a Nice Way.
- Finish
- Medium Long, a lot of Fruit and a little Dry and Spicy.
A very nice Dram, Easy to Drink and very Relaxing, Not as Soft as the speyside single Malts but not as strong as Islay, Just GOOD..
