This bottling of 25-year-old Highland Park single malt is made with whisky taken from ex-sherry and bourbon casks and bottled at 45.7% abv, slightly lower than previous 25-year-old expressions from the Orkney distillery. It was awarded 100 points out of 100 at the 2013 Ultimate Spirits Challenge in New York; a perfect score!

Tasting Notes:

Nose:?Soft, plump cherries, toasted walnut, crumbly pastry and brown sugar.

Palate:?Stewed fruits, sweet vanilla and some classic Orkney peat. A hint of spiciness, not too much though.

Finish:?Sweet, long and delicious.
