Highland Park 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch – 70cl 47.5%

This Highland Park 40 is an amazing example of a beautifully thought out dram. This is Highland Park at the top of its game! The whisky has been batched in very small quantities with only 10 casks selected for each bottling. Described in Whisky Magazine as “an incredibly well drinking Highland Park… sharing some of the 18 Year Old’s refinement but taking it into a different league”. We think they summed it up perfectly. Nose: Notes of pine and eucalyptus oil with hints of manuka honey. Some fruit notes, grassy heather and mixed peels developing with gentle smoke. Palate: Notes of leafy greenness and marzipan with hints of sherry. Seville marmalade and a little spice. Finish: The finish is long with perfumed notes and zesty bitter oak.
