Highland Park Cask Strength #3, 64.1%

A combination of loads of European oak and heavily peated Highland Park distillate, Batch 3 is uniquely different from the previous batches of ‘sweeter’ high strength releases from the distillery. The nose is rather luxurious with maple, pecan and those classic heather honey notes. But once it comes to taste, this whisky is an explosion of bigger, drier, more powerful HP stylings that I haven’t really come across before, and that is quite fun!

Coming in at a huge 64.1% – it is a liquid that makes a statement, HP can still make great whisky, despite what many would say. A shame it’s the only affordable bottle of that quality.
