Description

HIGHLAND PARK THE LIGHT 17Y 70CL

Highland Park The Light 17-Year-Old 70cl celebrates the vibrant spring and summer of Orkney. Basically, this limited edition follows the successful release of The Dark, providing a perfectly balanced experience for whisky lovers. The whisky spends 17 years maturing in refill American oak casks, which gives it a light golden hue. Bottled at a bold 52.9% ABV, it offers a strong yet approachable profile.

Firstly, on the nose, it immediately presents vibrant citrus, green apple, and fresh sawdust. Secondly, as you taste it, tangy mango and pear drops shine through, combining with vanilla-rich malt and a whisper of subtle smoke. You’ll also detect the hint of pink peppercorn, which adds a unique twist. Finally, the finish lingers with resinous oak, waxy citrus peels, and earthy forest floor notes, giving it depth and complexity.

The packaging itself stands out with a green glass bottle. The embossed serpent-dragon design draws inspiration from Viking heritage, a nod to Orkney’s history. Along with the bottle, you’ll find a bespoke oak frame and a booklet detailing the whisky’s creation and legacy. With only 28,000 bottles available, this expression remains an exclusive and highly collectible item.

Official tasting notes highlight the sweet heather peat, nutmeg, vanilla, and caramelized pear that combine beautifully on the palate. You’ll also discover subtle hints of cedarwood and a trace of light peat smoke. Whisky Magazine rates the whisky at 8.4/10, praising its perfect balance and noting its approachability despite the higher ABV.
