After the dark comes the light!
The release of "The Dark" early in 2018 showcased Highland Park in Ex-Sherry casks and now "The Light" showcases 100% refill American oak cask aged Highland Park and completes the series of two expressions.
The brain trust at Orkney distillery Highland Park said, let there be light – and there was The Light, a new expression said to embody the spring and summer months on the archipelago.
Hot on the heels of 2017’s The Dark, The Light marries flavours as diverse as nutmeg, cedar wood and caramelised pear.
A limited edition of 28,000 bottles, each one presented at a strength of 52.9% abv in a stunning oak wood frame decorated with runes and the serpent dragon.

Distillery: Highland Park
Kirkwall, Scotland
Here at a beautifully remote distillery in Orkney, Highland Park distillery have been crafting award-winning whisky for over 220 years.
Because of the harsh climate this far north, the Orkneys’ windswept landscapes are treeless. Distillers say this terrain plays into Highland Park’s distinctively smoky, floral flavors, rich with the scent of local heather flower.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh orange blossom water and sweet orchard fruits (ripe peaches, pears, gooseberries). Sweet lime and blood oranges before vanilla, floral honey and oak shavings.
Palate: Sweet, with nectarines, yellow plums and berries. Even a light tropical touch of mango. Quite intense, with a base of peppery oak and nutty notes, and maybe the lightest hint of smoke.
Finish: Medium long and creamy, with hints of red apples and minty oak.
