Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 5 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 5 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, crafted at the historic Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney, showcases the distillery's deep-rooted tradition and innovative spirit. This release is matured in a variety of cask types, including first-fill sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, Pedro Ximénez casks, and refill ex-bourbon casks. Bottled at a robust 64.7% ABV without the addition of water, it exemplifies a harmonious blend of classic craftsmanship and contemporary flavor exploration.
The whisky opens with a complex bouquet of dried cloves, fresh oregano, and crushed pine needles, intertwined with subtle wood smoke. The influence of Pedro Ximénez casks shines through in the intense flavors of sun-dried fruits like prunes, dates, and sultanas. These fruity notes are complemented by the rich contributions from the first-fill European oak casks, which introduce hints of liquorice and winter spices, balanced by cocoa nibs and a touch of light oak from the ex-bourbon casks.
The finish is delightfully fragrant and smoky, lingering with sherried fruits and sweet spices. Highland Park's natural cask-driven color, a deep gold, reflects the absence of additives and highlights the whisky's pure, rich character. Ideal for savoring neat or with a splash of water to release its full spectrum of flavors, this release is a testament to Highland Park’s enduring legacy and Orkney’s unique influence on its whisky.
