Highland Park 16 Year Old Wings Of The Eagle

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 44.5%

One of three whiskies originally released for the Travel Retail market by Highland Park in 2018, Wings of the Eagle is a 16 year old single malt which has been drawn from sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks. The distillers haven't specified which type of eagle it was named after, so we'll pick our favourite (long-crested eagle) and imagine that's the one.

Tasting Note

Nose

Shortbread, waxy orange peels, pine resin and a subtle waft of hickory smoke.

Palate

Smoke remains soft, letting notes of vanilla and mixed nuts lead the way.

Finish

Almond butter, a touch of tobacco, crunchy brown sugar.
