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.
Christmas in a bottle, one of the best nosing whiskeys available and incredible taste and mouth feel. This whiskey has it all.
Now I understand how this fine dram got 100 points. From nose, to palate, to finish, there isn't a step that you don't feel like it should last forever.
Nose: You'll want to just keep it there...it smells that good Palate: Burst of flavors, full bodied and spice...you'll want it swirling around for an hour - no joke Finish: Utterly delicious
Perfect
Gold in a glas, satisfaction for me... Full-bodied, warm, intense but well-balanced. Sweet, soft peat and then a long finish with notes of spicy oak. Not speechless, but its somewhere between 90 and 100 points. Ok... 94.
