The Highland Park 1989 single malt whisky is a gem crafted by the renowned independent bottler, Gordon & MacPhail, which has been bottling Scotch whisky since 1895. This exquisite expression is part of the Connoisseurs Choice series and is one of only 347 bottles produced from a single refill sherry butt. Distilled in 1989, it was matured for 32 years before being bottled in December 2021 at a robust cask strength of 51.9% ABV. This whisky reveals a complex aroma that includes notes of black cherries, golden sugar, nutmeg, orange zest, pressed apples, and a hint of smoke. On the palate, it showcases flavors of fruit cake, dried tobacco, butterscotch, mint, and red apples, with a surprising touch of menthol. The finish is spicy and medium in length, enhancing the overall tasting experience. Gordon & MacPhail, based in Elgin and owned by the Urquhart Family, has bottled over 350 different expressions from around 69 different distilleries and also owns the Benromach distillery, which they acquired in 1993. This particular Highland Park single malt was distilled at the Highland Park Distillery in the Orkney Islands, adding to its distinctive character.
