Хересно-бурбонный Highland Park под секретной маркой: солёный, слегка дымный, с сухофруктами, пряностями и явной хересностью. Опытные держатся около 85–86, остальные чуть щедрее (86–88); главное расхождение — из-за серного тона в отдельных образцах и жёсткой горчинки в конце.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — вереск, апельсин, сухофрукты (изюм, курага, вишня), мёд и карамель поверх ореховой хересной основы, лёгкий дровяной или зерновой дым и морская солёность; часть образцов раскрывается медленно и заметно выигрывает от воды. Во вкусе виски выражённо пряный (чёрный перец, имбирь, мускат, чили), с сухим олоросным характером, тёмным шоколадом и какао, орехами, вишней и кожей; послевкусие средней длины, согревающее, с золой, дымом и горчинкой. Хвалят баланс, солёность, узнаваемый профиль Highland Park и исключительное соотношение цена/качество для 14-летнего виски крепости 57,1% без охлаждённой фильтрации; критикуют молодоватость и спиртовую резкость без воды, а также чрезмерную сухость и горечь (зелёный грецкий орех) в конце. Опытные ревьюеры оценивают сдержаннее и стабильнее — в основном 84–86, отмечая крепкий, но не выдающийся напиток, где происхождение с Оркни угадывается не всегда; отдельные высокие баллы (88–92) идут за баланс, фруктовость и «взрывное» дымно-фруктовое послевкусие. Менее опытные оценивают чуть выше и охотнее подчёркивают ценовую привлекательность, но именно среди них звучит и самая резкая критика: серный тон от прокладки капсулы (оценка 82), тонкий и короткий аромат, избыточная горечь. Разброс невелик и оценки согласованы вокруг 86, а основное расхождение объясняется не столько опытом, сколько разницей между конкретными образцами и бутылками.

A very well-rounded whisky. The combination of bright, citrusy ex-bourbon aromas and darker, leathery sherry cask notes makes it particularly interesting. Relatively little smoke, in my opinion. It seems slightly younger on the nose due to light but noticeable yeast notes. Benefits from the addition of water. Not a whisky for over-analysis, but definitely a solid drink.

Fine and grainy smoke, light but very fruity sherry, with juicy grapes, candied quince, dried apricots, vinous touches, but then it's a rosé wine. The peat gives breadth to all that. A drop of water brings out the smoke. Beautiful balance on the finish. Very successful palate, the fruits melt on the tongue, this with just the right dose of pepper. Then the spices rise, clove, cumin, nutmeg. Long and pleasant finish, almost explosive, and which decants slowly, smoky wood, mossy bark, some black berries, it's almost sparkling, macerated fruits, medlars, morello cherries, moist leather. Chasselas grapes. I think this is one of the best products in this range which has become popular among whisky lovers. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2024/07/secret-orkney-2010-100-proof-edition-15.html

Respect - while Signatory's 100 Proof Edition started with bargains, all of which were under 10 years old, this Batch 15 is 14 years old. And secret or not, this is of course Highland Park, so first class. The bottling costs €45.90 in early summer 2024. The distillery's 15-year-old Viking Heart bottling costs almost twice as much and has a measly 44% vol., so it even has to be filtered. Signatory's 57.1 vol. without chill filtration is a completely different story. OK, in addition to 1st Fill Oloroso Butts, Bourbon Hogsheads are also used here. But Highland Park from Bourbon Casks can be really delicious. The color is promising with a dark amber tone.

2ndSip 86 25 may 2024 11:20 am
Much better with water than pure. [86 - 82 = good whisky -> get (a second) bottle? Maybe...] Based on price-performance alone, it should get a few more points, but in terms of aromas, it's "only" good overall, it's too bitter for my liking at the end.
Нос 88 without water: quite closed, it needs a little time for the aromas to emerge. If it can get some air, you can discover a lot: dark aromas, raisins, ripe apricots, the sweet heather - the HP is clearly recognizable here. The typical orange is also present. Nuts (especially hazelnuts, almonds) are slowly coming through, OK, the Oloroso is getting going. Typical sherry spices and spices (especially black pepper, nutmeg), plus milk chocolate but with a dark chocolate component, the more bitter part comes through more slowly. The sweetness comes through well with honey and caramel as well as the heather, but it is not extremely sweet, rather it maintains a good balance. The alcohol itself is well integrated, but every now and then you notice its increased strength. diluted to approx. 48%: it opens up more, now there are also a few more acidic components, the orange gets a splash of lemon; but it remains in harmony with the sweetness. It now seems more herbal, more floral - the heather stands out. The fruity aromas also come through more clearly. He now seems more lively/younger, but you can still tell that he is 14 years old; in fact, he reminds me a little of "Loyalty of the Wolf", which was also 14 years old. With every minute of more oxygen he gets better.
Вкус 86 immediately diluted to around 48%: fruity, orange is there straight away, spicy, very spicy on the tongue, creamy texture, but wow, it's still spicy... it could use more water. It becomes quite dry, the Oloroso kicks in, the nut aromas push forward, tart note of dark chocolate, but with even more cocoa content, it is already moving towards bitterness (green walnut). 2nd sip: fruity again, sweeter than the first sip, creamier; the spiciness from the barrel is there right away, it is still quite hot, but the tongue could get used to it a bit, but you can now feel it in your throat - it warms you up well; so it is something for autumn or winter.
Финиш 84 oh ha, it lingers for quite a long time; ash smoke comes through slowly and with a delay (noticeable, but not extreme), slightly bitter at the end. Nut aromas, unfortunately also the bitter green walnut, which detracts from the whole experience a little - but you can live with it.

A beautiful Highland Park from a sherry cask. You immediately get the typical Highland Park notes. The Oloroso and Bourbon casks have also done their job. You immediately notice heather and a little wood smoke on the nose. Then the sherry comes into its own with cherries, oranges and raisins. This is followed by floral notes and vanilla. The taste is very spicy to begin with, but also sweet. Wood smoke, oranges followed by honey, dried fruit and vanilla. The aromas linger in the mouth for a long time. Mainly pepper, nut - chocolate and wood smoke. A super bottling from Signatory Vintage and considering that this is a 14-year-old Highland Park, it is of course a banger for the price. The alcohol is well integrated and there are no off notes. A great whisky, great to drink. I like it a lot.

Barely sugar sweet, salty bitter a good cask with no sulphur notes . With a few drops water more barley malt with creamy notes , fruity and well balanced with touch of peat. As a Highland Park fan this one hits the mark with value and quality in my opinion.

A really fine Secret Orkney. Honestly if you can buy this for less than €50 just go for it, I doubt you'll be disappointed for the price. I love the saltiness of the dram, the hints of smoke and in the background even the feintest hints of tropical fruits. I know a lot of people say Highland Park is not what it used to be, but leave it to the independents to try save some of its legacy.

I gave the whisky 20 to 25 minutes in the glass beforehand to allow its aromas to develop. I think this whisky offers far more than you would expect from a whisky in this price range. So far, my favorite from Signatory Vintage's 100 Proof Edition is Glen Ord #22. Although this Secret Orkney is slightly ahead.
Нос 88 Forest honey and bitter almonds dominate the nose. In the background, you can detect what HP always refers to as heather. Although I can only identify this with other HP whiskies, as I have no idea what heather smells or tastes like. There are also light hints of lemon peel.
Вкус 88 The taste also has a clearly recognizable HP profile for me. The dominant note for me is a tart grapefruit. The alcohol is very well integrated, so you can experiment with water if you like, but despite the high percentage it is not absolutely necessary.
Финиш 87 The finish is warming and medium-long, with distinct notes of dark chocolate emerging.

You get a really well-aged Highland Park from the sherry cask with all of its classic aromas, like light spicy wood smoke, heather with leather and tobacco. Considering the price, this is an absolute no-brainer for anyone who likes Highland Park.
Los_Noobos 85 19 sep 2025 11:14 pm
I'm very impressed. The HP Original bottlings from their standard range had recently left me rather perplexed and disappointed. Here at Signatoy, however, you get for a comparatively small price what you'd actually expect from the original bottlings. Personally, I prefer (as with all high-proof spirits) to add a little water. This helps to soften a few minor weaknesses, such as the freshness on the nose or the pronounced pepperiness on the palate. It all becomes more palatable without losing much of its character.
Нос 85 First and foremost, there's a certain freshness, likely from the alcohol. Fortunately, this subsides, and immediately afterward, dark fruit sherry notes emerge. I detect fresh garden herbs, though I can't identify them individually. The scent of violets—or perhaps it's the heather often associated with HP. A powdered sugar sweetness. If there's any smoke present, it's very subtle. Surprisingly complex and appealing for this price range.
Вкус 84 Sweet golden honey with a spicy, almost peppery note. Very oily consistency, like still-warm dark chocolate pudding with juicy black cherries.
Финиш 86 Salted caramel, still very sweet. The spices tickle the palate. It becomes cherry-like again, now reminiscent of sour cherries from a jar on dark chocolate. A slight woody bitterness lingers in the back of the throat. Not unpleasant, it adds a touch of depth.

Blind rating Blind from @Paweł Zuchol Nose: Fat and buttery, slightly mineral. Very intense and pleasant. Some hay and stock cubes, cooked meat, green spices. Overall, I find it very umami. Minimal sulfur and minimal basement. Taste: Tart and pleasantly warming, slightly oaky, distinct spices. Finish: Quite long and bittersweet. Umami disappears. Maybe a hint of dried fruit comes through. It's getting so nice and warm and it's probably because of the voltage. I guess: 12yo 58% Bourbon cask and maybe a small amount of rinsed sherry cask The style suits me Campbelltown Rating: 88 - intense, complex and overall solid.

A lovely Highland Park – yes, the cask is dominant and somewhat generic in its flavor profile, but the cask and distillate complement each other well, creating a beautiful and, above all, delicious combination. Highly recommended at this price. For me, a very solid 86/100 (7/10).
Нос 85 Fruity and spicy, with more American than European oak. With aeration, fresh aromas emerge (lemon peel, Earl Grey tea), followed by herbs/heather, a hint of smoke, and mineral notes (damp earth). With water, more smoke, forest honey, and sugarcane become apparent. Despite its 57.1% ABV, the alcohol is barely noticeable.
Вкус 89 Sweet, spicy, and fruity with a touch of smoke, plenty of malt, heather, orange marmalade, nuts, and forest honey. Underlying these are hints of hay, salted chocolate, a light maritime note, and a touch of lavender.
Финиш 84 The finish has both dark and fresh notes – on the one hand, milk chocolate, pepper, coffee, oak, leather, tobacco, and heather; on the other, orange peel and ginger. Slightly salty, but with a pleasant sweetness. It lingers relatively long.

beezeewilbart 85 13 jul 2025 4:05 am
EDIT: The bottle has now been open and well past the shoulders for at least a year. It is better now. Rating updated. Compared with a regular OB, this is better, indeed. Compared with one of the OB single casks, this is mediocre with the taste of sad old wood. (In this case, the single cask is of the same vintage but bottled at 11yo and, yes, 2.5 times more expensive. But I would rather have 1 bottle of that than 3, 4, 5 bottles of this one. Alas instead I have one of this and none of that.)
Teefinest 86 30 may 2024 2:50 pm
An Orkney whisky from the wild side and that's not just because of the "100 proof", but also with a little water there's still a lot of smoke and power. More than I'm used to in Orkney. But the fruit notes are not lost and remain beautifully present. It has a nice acidity at the back, which provides a good counterbalance to the slightly smoky note. A thoroughly complex and successful whisky.

Smells like burnt heather. The taste is reminiscent of a cream made from Oloroso sherry, heather and heather honey, and wood. This Highland Park is quite purist and not too sweet. The casks play a supporting role. It's not particularly complex, but it perfectly conveys the distillery's character. That's exactly what Highland Park is all about. Diluting it isn't worth it; the nose becomes more revealing, but the flavor loses a lot of intensity.

Great value for money. I have to say that for the money I haven't had a single Scotch this good in my glass in recent years. For what it is, it's outstanding in my opinion.

In a direct comparison of 100 Proof Secret Orkney, Whitlaw 2024 10y and 100 Proof Caol Ila 10y rum, the Secret Orkney was something of a winner. The extra percentage gave it a slight lead over the Whitlaw, which is a bit more solid. The Caol Ila is not bad, but a bit too bitter and is nowhere near as good as the Caol Ila 100 proof #10. The Secret Orkney 2010 SV has no off notes, convinces with delicious heather and orange notes and with a power that can be channeled with a drop of water. I'm excited to see how the whisky develops with additional air. With the Caol Ila 8y 100 proof #10, this contributed enormously to the development.

Bought this along with the cask strenght Highland Park. What s difference. HP cask strenght is much younger with less cask impact. Less sherry caskd too. No real HP character. This secret orkney on the other hand is what highland park tasted like a decade ago and should taste like in official bottlings. Highly revommended. Best HP I have tasted for 10+ years.
