Highland Park Full Volume
Highland Park
Tasting Notes
Highland Park Full Volume represents an intriguing departure from the distillery's traditional sherry-forward style, showcasing what happens when Orkney's distinctive spirit meets exclusively first-fill bourbon casks. Distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2017 at 47.2% ABV, this expression turns up the volume on bourbon-influenced notes while maintaining Highland Park's essential character. The journey begins with a harmonious nose where vanilla cream, smooth fudge, and barley sugar sweetness find perfect rhythm with citrus zest, lemon curd, and oak spice. The palate delivers a crescendo of creamy vanilla, sweet lemon peel, and tropical fruits, while rich coconut notes play alongside Highland Park's signature aromatic smoke. The finale presents a long, melodious finish where returning barley sugar sweetness orchestrates with tannic oak, creamy vanilla, and lemon, while cedar wood and tangy pineapple provide the closing notes. Presented in a speaker-inspired box that echoes its musical theme, this release demonstrates Highland Park's ability to compose new variations on their classic theme.
