The good news: This is one of the best Highland Park whiskies I have ever tasted. The bad news: it’s the new release for Travel Retail (formerly Duty Free). It’s lush, well-balanced, and very complex. Well-defined notes of toffee, candied fruit, and roasted nuts are accentuated by background honey, chocolate mousse, and smoke. Here’s the icing on the cake: it’s bottled at 47.5%, which really allows the flavors to shine. If you’re going overseas, consider tracking down a bottle. (JH, Summer 2008) 

K&L Notes

In 2009 Highland Park 21 was named “World’s Best Single Malt Whisky.” It’s taken 10 years, but Gordon Motion, Master Whisky Maker at HP has deemed a selection of 21-year-old casks good enough to match and maybe even surpass that quality marker. This limited batch is created from 15 hand-selected casks. Six are first-fill sherry European Oak, four are first-fill sherry American oak, and five are refill casks.
