Highland Park Cask Strength No 1 63.3%

Cask Strength No 1 is the first release in Highland Park's new Cask Strength range. It is matured predominantly in sherry seasoned American oak casks of various ages, hand selected by Gordon Motion, their Master Whiskey Maker. It is then bottled directly and not chill-filtered, to ensure that the essential DNA and natural color of the whiskey remains intact. There is nothing in this whiskey other than the whiskey itself. Nothing but the intensely balanced, award-winning spirit of Highland Park.

Scent: It is immediately sweet and smoky with aromas of violets and ripe vanilla pods amid waves of aromatic dry smoke.
Taste: Very rich and full-bodied with soft caramel, heather honey, freshly ground nutmeg and sun-ripened citrus fruits, giving way to an exotically spiced creme brûlée finish.

Casks have a huge impact on this whisky. As fresh new spirits slowly mature inside the casks, the casks use these long years to impart their wide range of robust flavours.

When bottled directly from the cask without adding water to reduce the alcohol content, you will taste whiskey and the influence of the cask in its purest form.

About the Distillery:

Highland Park Whiskey is world-renowned for their large and beautiful selection of whiskeys at sharp prices. In other words, you get a lot for your money when you buy a Highland Park Whisky.

Whiskey made with pride in Orkney. The climate is wild and surrounded by stormy seas. The Vikings settled here over 1,000 years ago and left their mark on the people and culture. The founder, Magnus Eunson, was a direct descendant of the Vikings. He actually started by illegally starting up the distillery, so even though it is said to have been founded in 1798, it was actually somewhat earlier.
