The Highland Park 21yo August 2019 Release is a single malt whisky with an ABV of 46% and a volume of 700ml. This exceptional whisky was crafted at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, a distillery renowned for producing award-winning whisky since 1798. The 21-year-old whisky was created from 55 hand-selected casks laid down in November 1998. The whisky is a harmonious marriage of three distinctive cask types, resulting in a full-flavored, powerful, and sweet single malt with a complex smoky finish. The sherry seasoned first-fill European oak hogsheads contribute tangy notes of fresh ginger and sun-ripened oranges, while the ex-bourbon casks add soft ribbons of vanilla cream complemented by a drizzle of honey. Refill casks balance the influence of oak from the first-fill casks, leaving just a hint of lightly toasted oak and softening the whisky's smoky, spicy complexity. The whisky boasts a complex aroma and flavor profile that includes sweet heather honey, sun-ripened oranges, spicy root ginger, fresh vanilla pods, lightly toasted oak, warm spices, and aromatic peat smoke. This 21 Year Old Highland Park is considered one of the finest expressions the distillery produces and was originally created exclusively for global travel retail and duty-free markets. The 2019 Release of Highland Park 21 Year Old is a superb example of a single malt whisky that has truly come of age.

As a reviewer, I found the Highland Park 21yo August 2019 Release to be an intriguing yet polarizing single malt. The nose and palate exhibit a beautiful complexity, showcasing the distinct influences of its cask types. However, the finish, characterized by strong bitter wood, detracts from the overall experience. While it has many commendable qualities, some might find the finish less agreeable.
