Highland Park 21YO 2020 Release 700ml

Highland park 21YO 2020 release 700ml

The lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic obviously gave the team at Highland Park plenty of time to create a truly sensational 21-Year-Old. Previous releases have been lavished with gold medals at the International Spirits Challenge and The Scotch Whisky Masters, and we’re sure that the 2020 release is going to be an award winner too.

Drawn from 55 hand-selected casks – a combo of Sherry-seasoned European oak hogsheads, ex-Bourbon barrels and refill casks – that were filled and laid down in November 1998. Not as tropical as the previous bottling, this one oozes sweet heather honey, sun-kissed oranges, marmalade, gingerbread, vanilla ice cream, fruitcake, toffee and toasted nuts, combined with freshly hewn oak, aromatic peat smoke and a cup of lapsang souchong around a campfire kind of vibe. This classic Highland Park is how we want to remember 2020!

Based in Kirkwall, this legendary Orcadian is Scotland’s most northerly distillery and one of only a handful to still employ traditional malting floor. Orkney’s windswept climate – one that has swept all the trees off the island – creates a truly unique place to age whisky.
