Highland Park Orcadian Vintage Series #5 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 35 Year Old · 1976 Vintage
Out of stock
Released in December 2011, the 1976 Vintage is the fifth release in the Orcadian Vintage Series. The result of lengthy maturation in American oak, this Vintage delivers a lighter, tropical fruit and floral flavour, combined with the classic Highland Park sweet, smoky balance.
"The hallmark of Highland Park production, an all-pervading obsession with quality and attention to detail, can be discerned in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied floral sweetness of the whisky. The flory of Highland Park lies in its remarkable balance; this is as evident in the 1976 Vintage as in all other expressions." - Max McFarlane.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Light Gold.
Nose
Light, fresh fruit such as melon and mango, freshly cut resinous wood. A wonderful butter hint arrives late then the classic heather sweet note.
Palate
Very floral to start, reminiscent of the heather fields of hobbister moor in bloom, marzipan and coconut, and ending in a honey coated almond.
Finish
Lingering notion of balance between wood and cream, neither in the ascendancy, smooth violet softens the finish.
