Ever tried a perfect whisky? Well this could be your chance! This bottling of 25 year old Highland Park single malt is made with whisky taken from ex-sherry and bourbon casks and bottled at 45.7% abv, slightly lower than previous 25 year old expressions from the Orkney distillery. It was awarded 100 points out of 100 at the 2013 Ultimate Spirits Challenge in New York; a perfect score!
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Soft, plump cherries, toasted walnut, crumbly pastry and brown sugar.
Stewed fruits, sweet vanilla and some classic Orkney peat. A hint of spiciness, not too much though.
Sweet, long and delicious.
This really is a fantastic single malt from Highland Park, tonnes of flavour but balanced admirably.

A must have, simply the best !!
When I tasted the HP 18, I knew that I had come upon something special. The complex flavors of the HP 18 reeled me in, to the extent that I could not resist venturing into the 25. It is truly an exceptional whisky. As we speak it resides in the pantheon of only two or three others like Talisker 25, and Macallan 25. It is well worth the investment. The first sensory experience is the incredible nose. You can't believe that you can gain so much pleasure from simply smelling it. Pause and take in the vanilla, the perfect subtle smoke, and the various other indescribable smells. When tasting, the initial mouthfeel is smooth as silk. Most other whiskies will punish you at the tongue or the throat upon swallowing, this one does not. That is not to say that it is tame. You get an extreme, full bodied, long taste, but without a big burn. The smell, the feel, the taste is absolutely superb. This is close to the perfect dram. I can't wait until I delve into it again.
So amazing. Just heaven.
I completely agree. I have the 30yr because MoM was out of 25yr briefly. Not nearly the perfection or the 25. I bought 2 of these for my going away party when i left my last job. We went back and bought 2 more the same evening. I have 2 at home from MoM as I may have found my absolute favorite.
