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.
Wafts of sweet peat and brown sugar simmering in a pan, with jammy sultana and buttered crumpet in the background.
Ginger, nutmeg, heather honey, apricot and orange oil. Continued smoke builds, introducing earthy spices later on.
Warming peppery notes and a lingering hint of caramelised nuts.

Tender and smooth start; a little oaky (to less for me); but every second in the mouth brings the finest hidden notes of salt, sea, and a little peat.. a long and wonderful finish.... a divine drink! Just my opinion; sorry for bad english Best Greetings from Austria, Raymond
A deep and rich honey and oaky taste that turns in to a dry and intense kick of the 60 % alcohol and then settels in to a wonderful ligering taste of fudge , vanilla , sea salt and a hint of smokey peat.. a truley masterpice and true to the Noric viking legacy
really horrible not to be touched...actually that should leave more bottles for me! carry on with this ,it certainly is the best.
