- Description
- Highland Park's fourth cask-strength release draws from a diverse cask selection—European oak, first-fill sherry, ex-bourbon, and ex-Port—creating an unusually multi-layered expression at 64.3% abv. A distinctive Turkish delight character emerges on the palate, softened by the distillery's sooty smoke signature, followed by coconut, rose, and raspberry notes that add floral and fruity dimension. The high alcohol and cask variety give this release unexpected complexity without losing Highland Park's recognizable identity. A powerful bottling for those who enjoy exploring how different wood profiles interact with Orkney peat.
