Highland Park Hjarta

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58.1%

Score: 87 Points

Highland Park doesn’t release cask-strength malts very often, and this 12-year-old expression is a great example of why it should. It’s sold only at the distillery and in a few Nordic markets, and think of it as the regular Highland Park 12 on steroids. It’s slightly smokier than the original, but still has the classic citrusy tartness with a hint of orange peel.
