Highland Park 18 Year Old
1997 vintage single cask bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for the Old & Rare Platinum Selection.This is a rich butter shortbread, fruity and nutty example of the single malt from the Kirkwall distillery in the Orkney Isles. Just 266 bottles. A straw coloured whisky with a mellow nose of sweet vanilla, stewed rhubarb, peaches and butter shortbread. On the palate we find creamy vanilla and butterscotch sauce poured over apricot and peaches, and a sprinkling of chopped walnuts. The finish is long, lingering and slightly sweet, with a nutty aftertaste.
