Highland Park November 2019 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old

The latest batch of the excellent Highland Park 21. Selecting similar quantities of contrasting cask types – 9 first-fill European sherry seasoned oak hogsheads, 8 bourbon hogsheads, and 9 refill hogsheads – creates an impressively rounded and unique flavour.

As the warm spices and rich dried fruit flavours of the European casks mingle with the sweeter, exotic fruit notes from the bourbon hogsheads, the softer influence of the refill casks finishes off the harmony.

The result is a marriage of freshly-cut pineapple, ripe mango, juicy pears, sun-dried sultanas, dried exotic fruit, spice market aromas and curls of aromatic peat smoke.

With aromas of freshly-cut pineapple and ripe mango, Juicy pears and root ginger. The palate offers sun-dried sultanas, vanilla pod and nutty toasted oak. The finish has a light golden syrup sweetness and aromatic peat smoke.
