The pure Highland Park Spirit you can enjoy your way.
Situated on the island of Orkney to the west of Kirkwall, HIghland Park is the most northerly distillery in the World. It was founded by Magnus Eunson in the late 18th century, one of many Orcadian smugglers and illicit Whisky producers who rebelled against the heavy excise duties imposed to finance the war with Napoleon. It is said that he used his position as church officer to conceal Whisky beneath the church pulpit. The distillery was licensed in 1826 by Robert Borwick, whose son-in-law, the local Exciseman John Robertson, is generally credited with routing out the smugglers. Highland Park is one of the few distilleries to use hard water. Also unusual is the use of traditional floor maltings for germinating the barley, which is then dried over a fire of local aromatic heather peat. This is the source of the heathery smokiness that is characteristic of Highland Park Whiskies.
Highland Park Cask Strength No. 2 Release presents you their Whisky in its purest form. It’s bottled straight from the cask without adding any water, which means incredible complexity, depth and balance of flavors. It also leaves the space open for you to enjoy it any way YOU want — you can experiment with the amount of water to get your optimal flavor. And the casks in question? Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion chose mostly sherry seasoned European and American oak but also threw a couple of ex-bourbon casks in the mix. Bottled at 63.9%, the folk at Highland Park described this tipple as “smoky pepper praline”.
