Highland Park Cask Strength Release No 3

Bottled directly from the cask without the addition of water to reduce the alcohol content, it provides the extraordinary depth, complexity and balance of flavor that is now the established hallmark of our Cask Strength range. Release no. 3 is no exception. This third edition has been created using an expertly balanced combination of three cask types - first-fill sherry-aged American and European oak casks and a smaller amount of refill casks to create balance and depth.

Using a higher proportion of Orkney peated malt, our Master Whiskey Maker, Gordon Motion, has achieved an intense smoky character that comes through first in the nose with aromas of smoldering peat and lightly charred oak, balanced by honey-glazed lemons and crushed anise.

Find what suits your taste best by experimenting with the amount of water you add as you release this whiskey's signature notes of ripe mango, cloudy heather honey and whipped vanilla cream with a touch of aromatic violet. Pink grapefruit peel, freshly baked sponge cake and a final gust of heathery peat smoke give a long and distinctive finish.

Highland Park has been producing their award-winning whiskey at the Highland Park Distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney since 1798.

Age, experience and respect for tradition may define our whisky, but it's Orkney that sets it apart from the rest. Something magical happens here, and the result is the wild harmony of flavor nuances found in our whisky.
