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.
Utterly breathtaking. A perfectly balanced whisky.

Smooth yet complex flavor. Love the burn spicy after taste lasted on the throat. Definitely one of the best Whisky I ever had.
I can nose this for hours.
I wrote the 7th may '14 review and bought this bottle in Jan/Feb '14 at £188. Now it's £275 and HP's own shop clocks it at £335! Edrington's gone crazy and this milking of customers is a disgrace. Great whisky but I work for a living guys.
