After disappearing from shelves in the 2000s, Highland Park 21 Year Old has made a triumphant return! Now being released in batches, this expression in particular is the August 2019 Release, which was matured in a combo of European and American oak sherry casks, as well as some refill casks. Just 15 casks in total were used, and the Orkney single malt has been bottled at 46% ABV.
Gingerbread, pineapple, softly salty wafts of sea air and dried peat earthiness.
Vanilla builds on the palate, paired with salted butter, raisins, stem ginger and old oak.
Baked orchard fruit, slightly flinty, dried herbs and coffee beans.
