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.
liquid gold words can't describe the delicious and subtle hints of flavor, if you are blessed to acquire this bottle you will savor each glass as if it were the last on earth.
A delicious single malt that complex and well balanced.
Hp25 2012 is a good thing, don't let anyone tell you any different. Old wood tones, a kiss of sherry, great floral peat and a dash of allspice. Other things too, all in a well balanced package. Despite 45,7% this actually seems to benefit from a ½ to a full teaspoon of water to open the aftertaste up properly. Very nice all in all, but in truth Lord I have sinned and lain with the Jezebel that is HP25 2006, and her sherry-soaked lips invade my dreams as I recall our bacchian embrace. She is a shameless, salacious temptress amply bestowed with everything that would drive any living thing mad, and in my shame it is her I think of even as I taste the 2012 on my lips.
