Highland Park Cask Strength
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 56%
Score: 93 Points
Cask-strength Highland Park distillery bottlings are rare…the only one in recent years before this was Hjarta, and this one is only available in Sweden and at the distillery on Orkney in 375ml bottles. The nose is fruity and vibrant with banana, orange peel, and hints of vanilla and coconut. The taste is chewy and fruity at first, with a strong pepperiness that builds up quickly while not overpowering the notes of orange peel, licorice, and allspice that give it a complex balance. The finish is long and fruity with a lingering pepperiness. Outstanding! (April, 2013)
