Highland Park Release No. 2 is bottled straight from the cask, without adding water to reduce alcohol content. Delivering an extraordinary depth, complexity and balance of flavours.
Casks have a huge influence on the flavour, character and natural colour of the Whisky as it matures. The Cask Strength Series presents Highland Park in its purest form, giving you the freedom to enjoy this expression your way. Discover the taste and strength that suits your palate by experimenting with the amount of water you add to reach your optimum flavour.
You’ll find aromas of summer rose, ripe pear and fresh coconut gathering on a wave of aromatic peat smoke. This is followed by a wild harmony of sweet and spicy flavours - poached pear and rich almond cake, a drizzle of cloudy honey and a twist of salty liquorice. There’s the suggestion of toasted oak and intriguing notes of orchard fruits, black pepper and sweet aniseed linger, in a satisfyingly long finish.
