DETAILS

Highland Park 40 Year old is not a "here today, gone tomorrow" single cask we uncovered in the warehouse. Through foresight, we are blessed with stocks of aged whisky. Many other distilleries would love to be in this enviable position. As it not a single cask, but a vatting of casks each of which is at least 40 years old, the tasting notes are broader in scope. The hallmark of Highland Park production, an all-pervading obsession with quality and attention to detail, manifests itself in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied sweetness of the whiskyt. The glory of Highland Park lies in its remarkable balance; this is as evident in the 40 year old as in all other expressions. The strength (alcohol by volume) is relatively high at 48.3% to deliver maximum flavour. Tasting notes: colour: rich hues of russet and copper. nose: spicy and aromatic with a background of rich dark fruits, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon zest and darkest chocolate. The use of refill casks allows Highland Park's trademark smoke to be retained, even after 40 years in wood. Palate: beautiful balance of sweet toffee notes, dark chocolate, black cherries, honey, sun dried orange zest and aromatic heather peat smokiness. Finish: rich, long, elegant, smoky and surprisingly sweet. Lingers forever. -- Max McFarlane, Glasgow
