Highland Park 24 Year Old 1990 - Single Cask (Master of Malt)
Oh yes, we've added a 24 year old Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky to our Single Cask Series. The legendary distillery on Orkney set aside this whisky to mature in a single second-fill bourbon cask in May 1990, and 24 years later we bottled it in September 2014 at 57.5% ABV. An absolute gem, this one - a coastal-whisky-lover's dream...
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet sea breeze, complimented by buttered popcorn and a little damp earth (Jake says "Petrichor!"). Bonfire smoke, candied peels and perhaps a touch of mint ice cream.
Palate
Oaky, smoky bonfire embers continue on the palate. Red delicious apples with the peels still on. Pleasingly oily with a touch of ready salted crisps on the mid palate.
Finish
Fruity olive oil, walnut and a touch of home-made toffee. Very long and satisfying.
Overall
A fantastic, generous Highland Park here with tonnes of character.
