Highland Park Cask Strength - Release No.3
Highland Park
Tasting Notes
Imagine sipping on liquid flames, a mesmerizing dance of smoky allure and fruity charm. This cask-strength whisky from Highland Park captivates with its hefty layers of smouldering peat, earthen ash, and whispers of oaken vanilla, floral tea, and grilled mango. The palate is a rich tapestry of roasted barley, charred heather, and spiced honey, with the peat smoke boldly taking center stage, balanced by a tarry, oily character and flamed citrus zest. As the finish unfolds, toasted, buttered fruit loaf emerges, drizzled with citrus oil, while the dense, floral smoke lingers, leaving a prickle of peppery spice on the tongue. This third installment of the Cask Strength series, masterfully crafted by Gordon Motion, offers a richly smoky profile, meticulously matured in a combination of first-fill and refill sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, harmonizing the hearty peat smoke with zesty layers of fruit and warming spice.
