- Description
- Highland Park's April 2005 distillation matured for nine years in first-fill bourbon barrels before Gordon & MacPhail bottled it at cask strength (56.6% ABV) in October 2014. The young Orkney spirit shows vibrant honeyed heather and gentle smoke with the characteristic oily texture of Highland Park, undiminished by chill-filtration.
