The subtle smokiness of Highland Park 12 Year Old makes it an exceptional partner for food. Its honeyed sweetness cuts through the richness of smoked salmon perfectly.
For a dessert pairing, try it alongside a dark chocolate tart. The bitterness of the cocoa highlights the dried fruit notes in the whisky, while the smoke provides a savory counterpoint.
If you prefer a savory route, a platter of aged cheddar or blue cheese works wonders. The saltiness of the cheese enhances the malt character, creating a balanced and memorable tasting session.
