Highland Park 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch...$159.99 / 750ml
Between You and I by Bjorn Frantzen
48% ABV
Highland Park 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – Between You and I (48% ABV), developed in collaboration with chef Björn Frantzén, is a mature, balance-driven expression emphasizing controlled oak influence and long-term integration rather than extraction. The whisky is aged for a full 16 years primarily in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, allowing slow oxidative maturation to build depth through aldehyde development, dried fruit esters, and mid-palate spice while softening primary distillate weight. Highland Park’s use of Orkney heather peat remains deliberately restrained, contributing floral phenolics and gentle smoke as a structural accent rather than a dominant flavor driver. Bottled at 48% ABV, the spirit retains sufficient viscosity and ester concentration for complexity, while presenting a more resolved oak-to-spirit equilibrium than higher-proof releases. The result is a technically precise, service-friendly single malt where maturation management and phenolic restraint are central to the profile.
