Description
2020 Release
Three is definitely not a crowd in this brilliant marriage of three distinctive cask types, bottled at 46% marrying strength to ensure a rich and full-bodied finish.
Tangy fresh ginger and sun-ripened oranges come to fore, driven by the sherry seasoned first-fill European oak hogsheads, while the ex-bourbon casks bring soft ribbons of vanilla cream with a drizzle of honey. Refill casks, balancing the influence of oak from the first-fill casks, leave just a hint of lightly toasted oak and soften the whisky’s smoky, spicy complexity.
Created from just 55 hand-selected casks laid down in November 1998, our 2020 Release of Highland Park 21 Year Old is a fine example of a single malt whisky that has truly come of age.
Tasting Notes:
Sweet heather honey | Sun-ripened oranges | Spicy root ginger | Fresh vanilla pods
Lightly toasted oak | Warm spices | Aromatic peat smoke
“This is one of the best Highland Park whiskies I have ever tasted …” – John Hansell, Whisky Advocate.
