Highland Park Cask Strength - Release No.1 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“Aroma and taste excellent. Water a must to enjoy it. The strength of alcohol means that other types of alcoholic beverages are experienced as juice. Is a whiskey that is difficult to compare with any other variety.”

Description
In a wonderfully 'does what it says on the tin' move, Highland Park has released a cask strength single malt named Highland Park Cask Strength! Joining the distillery's core range in late 2020, this expression was aged predominantly in sherry-seasoned American oak casks (chosen by master whisky maker Gordon Motion) and bottled without any chill-filtration at a hefty 63.3% ABV. A full-bodied whisky, showing off load of familiar Highland Park characterises: it's got the heather honey, it's got the sweet smoke, it's got the long finish. It's all there.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Wafts of sweet peat and brown sugar simmering in a pan, with jammy sultana and buttered crumpet in the background.
Palate
Ginger, nutmeg, heather honey, apricot and orange oil. Continued smoke builds, introducing earthy spices later on.
Finish
Warming peppery notes and a lingering hint of caramelised nuts.
