Highland Park 40 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky
$4,450.00
Initial inhalations detect lots of vibrant, salty, maritime aromas, including seaweed, coastal brine and smoke; aeration introduces deft traces of oak, Sherry, honey and dried fruits. Palate entry is acidic, clean, vigorous and properly oily; midpalate highlights include bittersweet flavors of toffee, cocoa bean, light honey and oak resin. Ends up long, spirity, clean and salty.

About
We are the product of our people, our location and our history. Our whisky, like our island home, is shaped by a wild climate and stormy seas, and by the Vikings who settled here over 1,000 years ago, leaving their mark on our people and our culture. There are people, near and far, whose passion and skill ensures that they – and our whisky – stand apart.
Highland Park 40 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky was named Best New Release of the Year at the World Whisky Awards 2009. It has been largely matured in refill casks, that is to say casks that have previously been used to mature whisky. It is a contemplative 40 year old Highland Park that has aged gracefully.
