10-year-old SMWS 4.142 10y

About

Highland Park's 10-year-old SMWS 4.142 is a refined single malt that exemplifies the distillery's distinctive character. Bottled at cask strength (58.1%) by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, this expression balances sherry-led maturation with bourbon-aged spirit, creating a whisky of subtle smoke and elegant fruit without overwhelming intensity. The nose reveals gentle charred oak, malty sweetness, and faint sherry cask influence. On the palate, floral and perfumed notes emerge alongside honeyed warmth, brown sugar, and candied citrus, developing into raisiny sherry complexity and toffee. The finish is surprisingly long and warming, with lingering oak spice. This is a contemplative dram that rewards close attention with layered flavour development.
