Highland Park Cask Strength Release No 2 – Pure strength and pure enjoyment

A powerful experience for true whisky lovers

Highland Park Cask Strength Release No 2 is whisky in its purest form – undiluted, unfiltered and with a powerful alcohol content of 63.9%. This single malt from the windswept Orkney Islands in the Scottish Highlands is created for those who want depth, complexity and the freedom to adjust the taste experience with water.

Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion has carefully selected mainly sherry-aged casks in both European and American oak, with a few ex-bourbon casks, creating stunning nuances in both aroma and flavour. The colour – a natural glowing amber – says it all about the intensity that awaits.

Fragrance that seduces

At first sniff, a complex and seductive palette is revealed: fresh summer rose, ripe pear and a touch of coconut. These floral and fruity notes are lifted by an aromatic smoke that only Highland Park can master – followed by sweet and spicy layers of almond cake, honey and a surprisingly salty licorice that tickle the nose and promise something special.

The taste – smoke, spice and balance

The taste experience is rich and balanced. Here you encounter toasted oak, black peppercorns, ripe fruit and sweet anise, ending with an incredibly long, warm and satisfying finish. The humorous and precise description "smoky, peppery praline" hits the spot.

Whisky you can shape to suit your temperament

Because this whisky is bottled at cask strength, you can adjust the strength with the amount of water you prefer. The result? A personal experience where you choose how your Highland Park tastes best. A true delight for connoisseurs and curious enthusiasts alike.
