Highland Park
Cask Strength No. 1 Release
(0.75l,
63.3%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
You can get in on the ground floor with a first edition cask strength Highland Park Single Malt.
Highland Park is the most northerly distillery in Scotland on the Orkney Islands. Legend has it that it was founded by Whisky smuggler Magnus Eunson in the late 1700s and that he used his position as a church officer to conceal Whisky beneath the church pulpit. Don’t assume that "Highland Park" means their Whisky is made in the Highland style. In character, their Spirit is closer to a midpoint between Lowland and Islay Single Malts. Perhaps the most famous Whisky connoisseur of all time — journalist Michael Jackson — called Highland Park, "The greatest all-rounder in the world of Malt Whisky."
Some folks spend their days dreaming of getting in on the ground floor of the latest tech startup. Sure, that’d be great. But today’s cutting edge tech is just as likely to be tomorrow’s has-been. We think getting in on the first edition release of a classic Single Malt from a place that’s been making it for more than two hundred years is as close to a sure thing as you can get. Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 1 is the classic Single Malt that has won raving fans and Golden awards year after year. It is aged predominantly in American ex-Sherry casks and delivered at a full cask strength of 63.3% ABV for the very first time. It’s poured into the bottles straight from the casks without chill-filtering or colorings.

Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.

Hobbister Moor is a landmark in Scotland famous for its peat. Because there are no trees on the land to blend in the peat, it has a slightly lighter aroma.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
