Initially released as a UK exclusive bottling in 2003, this has now been released worldwide. Traditionally, Highland Park's core expressions are aged entirely in European ex-Sherry casks. This is the exception to that rule as it matures predominantly in American ex-sherry barrels.

The wood is cut in the Ozarks, but the staves are air-dried in Spain for 2 years. The cask is toasted, not charred and holds dry Oloroso sherry for 2-3 years to season the wood. The barrels used are about 35% first-fill barrels, with the remainder refill Highland Park barrels.

Tasting Notes

"The peated smoke seems to be more intense in the 15 year old bottling particularly on the nose. It's got a sweet midsection with apple and spice and everything nice. On the finish, you find salted peanut brittle and smoke."
