The Whisky Barrel Unveils Exclusive “Orkney 21 Year Old 2004 Unicorn” — A Rare Highland Park Single Cask at Natural Strength
Award-winning Scotch whisky specialist The Whisky Barrel is proud to announce the release of the Orkney 21 Year Old 2004 Unicorn, an exclusive single cask bottling distilled at the legendary Highland Park distillery on Orkney.
Matured for 21 years in a first fill Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead (#TWB1037) and bottled at a natural cask strength of 62.0% ABV, this limited edition captures the essence of Highland Park’s sherried island character in a powerful, luxurious expression. Only 316 bottles have been produced, each available exclusively from The Whisky Barrel.
Priced at ÂŁ89 GBP (inc. VAT), this remarkable release offers exceptional value for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a cask-strength Highland Park of genuine rarity and provenance.
“Unicorns have wandered Scotland for centuries, symbolising purity, strength and power,” said Alastair Brown, Managing Director of The Whisky Barrel. “This rare single cask celebrates that spirit — a whisky as elusive and majestic as the mythical creature that inspires it.”
The Okrney 21 Year Old forms part of The Whisky Barrel’s acclaimed Unicorn series, which honours Scotland’s national symbol through exceptional, hand-selected single casks. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, the whisky showcases natural sherry richness, island smoke, and classic Highland Park depth.
Tasting Highlights
- Nose: Dark fruits, heather honey, polished oak, and gentle peat smoke.
- Palate: Rich and full-bodied with layers of sherry-soaked fruitcake, malted barley, spice, and sweet peat.
- Finish: Long, warming, and indulgently sherried with lingering oak and smoke.
