Highland Park 21 Year Old November 2019 Release

A fine Single Malt delicacy.

Highland Park is the most northerly distillery in Scotland on the Orkney Islands. Legend has it that it was founded by Whisky smuggler Magnus Eunson in the late 1700s and that he used his position as a church officer to conceal Whisky beneath the church pulpit. Don’t assume that “Highland Park” means their Whisky is made in the Highland style. In character, their spirit is closer to a midpoint between Lowland and Islay Single Malts. Perhaps the most famous Whisky connoisseur of all time — journalist Michael Jackson — called Highland Park, “The greatest all-rounder in the world of Malt Whisky.”

Highland Park 21 Year Old November 2019 Release came from 9 first-fill European Sherry-seasoned oak hogsheads, 8 Bourbon hogsheads, and 9 refill hogsheads. This resulted in a super rounded and unique flavor profile with warm spices and dried fruits beautifully complemented by the softer flavors of pineapple, mango, pears, and exotic fruits from the refill casks. Plus, a hint of peat smoke to tie it all together. This is what a fine Single Malt delicacy should taste like.
