Highland Park Scottish Folklore Series 4th Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 31 Year Old · 1988 Vintage
In stock
The fourth release in the Scottish Folklore series continues the award winning style that has captivated whisky lovers with artistic interpretations of each mythical creature that are unlike any other you’ve seen before. This time, though… we’ve created something truly monsterous. While Cù-Sìth, Selkie and Cailleach Beira were all creatures of supernatural beauty, tempered by some sinister power, Nuckelavee is a grotesque beast to its core. The image of Nuckelavee on our bottle is an incredibly stylish depiction of horror. It’s dark, organic and terrifying – a tribute, we hope, to one of the most sinister beasts in Scottish folklore.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a touch of mahogany.
Nose
A perfumed, woody bouquet of camphor and sandalwood, with almondy Amaretto notes that stay dry. As the aroma unfolds, sweeter hints of dried prunes and freeze-dried strawberries surface, inviting closer assessment.
Palate
Sweet first, a thick layer of marzipan icing and raspberry jam peeled away from a fruitcake. A wisp of smoke drifts in, like roast dinner char from another room. The sweetness shifts to something savory, akin to Mexican candies, with tamarind candy, a soft kiss of salt and chili powder, and a warming cinnamon red-hot to finish.
Finish
Long, evolving and luxurious. The finish lingers with a parade of flavours: sweetness that softens into savour, a wisp of smoke, a kiss of spice, and a delicate sea-salt nuance. The impression shifts with every sip, inviting you back for another moment of discovery.
