Out of stock
Complete with limited editon 1,000 only 7 Inch Vinyl record.
A single malt distilled in 1999 and matured exclusively in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks.
Described as having a flavour profile of ‘citrus, creamy vanilla with a lightly smoky finish’, Highland Park Full Volume is said to synchronise ‘the skills of a whisky maker with the expertise of a music producer’. The release is part of a broader revamp of the Highland Park range by distillery owner Edrington, announced earlier this year alongside the launch of Highland Park Valkyrie and the unveiling of the brand’s new packaging.
Highland Park brand director Jason Craig said there were ‘lots of similarities’ between making whisky and music, adding: ‘In music, amps and equalisers restore balance by fine-tuning frequencies to alter tone and character. It is a similar role when creating a new whisky.’
The packaging for Full Volume is said to have been inspired by old-fashioned guitar amplifiers, with the dials on the side indicating the different measures of Bourbon, peat, vanilla and fruit flavours.
FULL VOLUME was created using 100% ex-bourbon casks rather than our traditional sherry-seasoned ones. During 1999, a combination of 481 casks – 200-liter barrels and 250-liter hogsheads – were filled at strengths of between 63.6% and 63.7%. The whisky was filtered at just over 4oC and delivers flavours of creamy vanilla and sweet citrus fruits from the bourbon casks, balanced by Highland Park’s characteristic aromatic smokiness.(Highland Park).

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a whisper of copper.
Nose
Bright citrus zest and creamy vanilla lead the aroma, melded with a delicate, aromatic peat. Honeyed oak from first-fill bourbon adds warmth, while light coastal notes and orchard fruit weave through, finishing with a subtle, refined smoke.
Palate
Opulent and velvety, the palate delivers creamy vanilla and honeyed citrus fruit, lifted by bourbon sweetness. Layers of orchard fruit mingle with Highland Park’s signature aromatics, while a restrained peat smoke threads through, finishing lightly smoky, warm and long.
Finish
Long and refined, the finish carries creamy vanilla and bright citrus, seamlessly blended with Highland Park’s signature aromatic smoke. It lingers softly, delivering a warm, citrus-kissed wrap that fades to a delicate, lingering glow.
