Highland Park Cask Strength
Highland Park Cask Strength is a permanent, annual release series from the Orkney distillery, designed to be a "raw" and intense, non-chill filtered expression of their single malt, typically bottled at high ABV (around 63-64%). It highlights a heavier sherry influence compared to their 12-year-old, offering a robust balance of heather honey, citrus, and smoky peat.
Key Characteristics and Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intense heather honey, dried fruits (dates, sultanas), aromatic peat smoke, and light violet notes.
Palate: Rich and powerful, featuring soft toffee, freshly grated nutmeg, sun-ripened citrus fruits, and a hint of dark chocolate.
Finish: Long, warming, and slightly spicy with lingering smoky notes.
Production: Matured mainly in first-fill sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, with some batches including bourbon casks.
