The Highland Park 25 Years Old is a phenomenal whisky; it has a rich amber glow and an unmistakable taste of smokiness and heather honey with, as you would expect from Highland Park, a hint of peat.
The remarkable complexity of this whisky is due in part to the fact that half of it is matured in first fill Sherry casks. These are very expensive and generally used sparingly in the industry. However, they impart maximum flavour; Highland Park 25 Year Old proves it.
Highland Park is an old distillery founded in 1798 on the site of an illegal still. The distillery has four stills. It is at present the most northerly distillery in the British Isles...just, the peat for the lightly peated malt is cut nearby, and used in it's own maltings, this is then blended with unpeated malt from the mainland.
