A very special expression from Highland Park. Few distilleries have the requisite whisky stocks to add a 40 year old to the core of their range. Highland Park made sure this was sure to turn heads with stunning packaging. The bottles are adorned with a silver amulet, the glass bottle was specially created by Stolze Flaconnage and the box was finished to cabinet quality by Mount Gabriel.
Rich and full. Notes of pine and eucalyptus oil with hints of manuka honey. Some fruit notes, grassy heather and mixed peels developing with gentle smoke.
Full and a little oily. Notes of leafy greenness and marzipan with hints of sherry. Seville marmalade and a little spice.
The finish is long with perfumed notes and zesty bitter oak.
I´d tried this 40y.o HP on Viking Line Cinderella. I give this fantastic whisky 11 points og 10...........
I just tried this and.. well.. i fell in love. It took its time to fully develop in the glass but then.. Oh my *beeep* Absolutely fantastic dram! Totally amazing!
