Highland Park Release No. 4 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

By bottling 'straight from the cask' without adding water to reduce alcohol content, we present our whisky in its purest form. CASK STRENGTH is the very essence of Highland Park and amplifies the key standards of our signature FLAVOUR PROFILE. "Casks have a huge influence on our whisky as it slowly matures, from our fresh new make spirit to AWARD-WINNING single malt. Both the type of cask and the length of time that the whisky matures in it play their part. For our CASK STRENGTH series, I select and marry casks of different ages, looking for distinctive characteristics that will harmonise beautifully when brought together, to create a whisky for everyone who loves HIGHLAND PARK as much as I do. ROBUST AND INTENSE, CASK STRENGTH RELEASE NO. 4 DELIVERS AN EXTRAORDINARY DEPTH, COMPLEXITY AND BALANCE." -- Gordon Motion, Master Whisky Maker CASK STRENGTH Release No. 4 - Matured predominantly in first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks, along with first-fill ex-bourbon casks, first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks, first-fill ex-port hogsheads and a small quantity of refill casks, all hand selected by Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker - Introducing ex-bourbon and ex-port casks to our Cask Strength series for the first time - Bottled at a combined cask strength to capture the essential DNA of Highland Park and intensify each individual strand of flavour - Non chill-filtered to reveal this whisky in its purest form with a distinctive natural haze - The whisky's naturally deep, rose gold colour is driven entirely by our casks, without additives TASTING NOTES Cask Strength Release No. 4 opens with enticing aromas of toasted coconut, driven by the ex-bourbon casks, along with crushed lemons and cedarwood; there's a delightful hint of Turkish Delight in the aromatic peat smoke too, thanks to the influence of ex-port casks. Intriguing flavours of zesty pink grapefruit and fragrant rose water emerge on the palate, expertly balanced by earthier suggestions of toasted oak and heather-rich peat, while the long finish reveals exotic sun-baked liquorice running through the final breath of floral peat smoke.
