Highland Park 15 Year Old at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News

Scotch soul, Viking heart

Highland Park’s Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion has expertly selected a combination of refill casks with sherry seasoned European and American oak barrels to create a powerfully complex and spicy dram. This 15-year-old Orkney single malt showcases notes of freshly baked sweet sponge cake with a pinch of cinnamon, vibrant citrus, and of course a torrent of peat smoke.

Highland Park 15YO →

Full of Viking soul. This 15-year-old single malt was selected predominantly from sherry seasoned European oak casks and sherry seasoned American oak casks, with a few refill casks to smooth things over. Arriving in a stunning ceramic decanter at 44% abv, this is manufactured using locally sourced raw materials. Continuing the Viking tradition in style.

Rich and spicy aromas arise on the nose, with notes of honey, Crème brûlée, cinnamon, and fruit. There is a strong note of freshly baked sponge cake on the palate, with cinnamon, citrus, and of course, peat smoke. The finish is one where the heathery peat smoke shines through, alongside the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness.

Amrut 8 Year Old “SCWC Exclusive” Ex-Port Pipe #4672 Unpeated ~ Indian Barley Single Malt Whisky (News)

Amrut 8 Year Old “SCWC Exclusive” Ex-Port Pipe #4672 Unpeated Indian Barley Single Malt Whisky (750ml)

$200.00

This unbelievable single cask was selected especially for the SoCal Whisky Club, but they’ve graciously allowed K&L to offer this exceptional barrel to our customers. The wonderful distillery in Bangalore has never before offered single casks in the US, so snagging this one at 8 full years of age was an absolute coop. 8 years in the heat in Bangalore is like 30+ in Scotland. This whisky, more so than even the Oloroso bottled exclusively for K&L, is reminiscent of the other great tropical malt producer, Kavalan. The sheer extraction that’s been achieved, both from the wood and the wine, is simply not possible in the Scottish climate and ultimately this is the closest thing to any of the Taiwanese cask strength whiskies that we can get right now. And while the price may seem high, it is only a fraction of what Kavalan sells their Solist Port Cask for and $100+ less than Amrut’s own 8 Year Old Greedy Angels bottling was several years ago. For anyone looking for a powerful wine influence, and a true BOMB of the highest order, there is nothing on the market today at any store in the US that beats this exceptional barrel in terms of extractive intensity and depth of flavor.

1990 Speyside Region 30 Year Old “Redacted Bros.” (Thompson/Dornoch) Single Refill Barrel Cask Strength ~ Scotch Whisky News

 

1990 Speyside Region 30 Year Old “Redacted Bros.” (Thompson/Dornoch) Single Refill Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) (Pre-Arrival)

$209.99 View

Another stupendous find from our friends at Dornoch Distillery. This cask of unnamed Speyside Single Malt came with no indications, clues or caveats. It’s just excellent old malt from one of Speysides 50+ distillers. Bottled at a cool 50.4%, this bottling sold out in minutes in Europe. Now we’re very lucky to have secured a significant portion of the cask, which yielded only a couple hundred bottles. Expect a classic creamy fruity Speysider with wonderful richness and complex waxy texture. This is the beauty that three decades in an ex-bourbon barrel can create. An absolute dream for any malt lover.
