The Highland Park Cask Strength 64.1% 700ml (Release No.3) is a complex and bold single malt whisky, meticulously matured in a combination of first-fill European and American oak sherry casks, along with a smaller selection of refill casks. This third release in the Cask Strength series stands out with its richness and vibrant character, primarily derived from first-fill sherry seasoned casks. On the nose, you'll encounter an intense smoky aroma infused with notes of peat, charred oak, honey-glazed lemons, and crushed aniseed. The palate unfolds with flavors of ripe mango, cloudy heather honey, vanilla ice cream, dried violets, pink grapefruit zest, freshly-baked sponge cake, and heathery peat smoke. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 64.1% ABV, this whisky is non-chill filtered, ensuring an extraordinary depth, complexity, and balance of flavors that have become the hallmark of the Cask Strength series. Highland Park, the distillery behind this exceptional whisky, is renowned as the northernmost Scotch whisky distillery in the world, situated in Orkney near the Arctic Circle. Operating on the same site since 1798, Highland Park uses barley smoked with peat from the Hobbister Moor, which is over 4,000 years old and located just seven miles away. This whisky distinguishes itself from Islay peated whiskies by achieving a harmonious balance between its smoky character and its fruity, floral notes. The result is a whisky with a long-lasting finish that evokes the rugged and ancient landscape of Orkney.
