Highland Park Scotch Miniature Gift Set
| Description: | Highland Park Miniature Gift Three 3x50ML 12 Year, 18 Year, and Cask Strength Release No.2. Since 1798, we've crafted our award-winning, lightly-peated whisky at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney. Age, experience and respect for tradition may define our whisky, but it's Orkney that sets it apart. From our island home, we harness the influence of the salty sea winds that shape Orkney's coastlines, the intensely floral character of our heather-rich peat, and the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks, to create Highland Park's uniquely complex balance of sweet and smoky flavours. 12 Year Matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, our iconic 12 Year Old single malt whisky is spicy and well-rounded, packed with the flavours of sun-kissed Seville oranges and rich fruitcake spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves; you'll find molten heather honey in this whisky's waves of heathery peat smoke. Why not try it with a handful of wasabi peas on the side or alongside a sizzling, pan-fried rib-eye steak or with smoked salmon and sour cream. 18 Year Named by the American whisky expert, F Paul Pacult, as âBest Spirit in the World' (Spirit Journal), 18 Year Old Viking Pride is our most highly-awarded single malt whisky, being honoured with both a Gold and an Ultimate Recommendation (with a score of 96) in the 2021 International Spirits Challenge. Matured in a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, this superb 18 Year Old single malt pays tribute to our five keystones of production and presents a sophisticated medley of ripe cherries dusted with bittersweet cocoa, freshly harvested honeycomb and candied orange peel. There's a whisper of Orkney's salty seaspray in the aromatic peat smoke. Cask Strength Release No. 2 is bottled straight from the cask, without adding water to reduce alcohol content, to deliver an extraordinary depth, complexity and balance of flavours. Casks have a huge influence on the flavour, character and natural colour of our whisky as it matures, so our Cask Strength series presents our whisky in its purest form, giving you the freedom to enjoy our whisky, your way. Discover the taste and strength that suits your palate by experimenting with the amount of water you add to reach your optimum flavour. The influence of sherry seasoned American oak casks drives vanilla and toffee notes, and fresh and exotic fruit flavours; European oak, on the other hand, influences deeper, richer flavours â" think dried fruit and woody spices, citrus notes and stewed orchard fruit. American oak casks that previously held bourbon rather than sherry provide a gentle spicy sweetness, typically revealed in notes of caramel, butterscotch, vanilla and nutmeg. For this second release in the Cask Strength series, Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker, selected mainly sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, along with just a few ex-bourbon casks. You'll find aromas of summer rose, ripe pear and fresh coconut gathering on a wave of aromatic peat smoke, followed by a wild harmony of sweet and spicy flavours - poached pear and rich almond cake, a drizzle of cloudy honey and a twist of salty liquorice. There's the suggestion of toasted oak and intriguing notes of orchard fruits, black pepper and sweet aniseed linger, in a satisfyingly long finish. In a word (or three) we call it âsmoky peppered praline'. |
