Description
Created from less than 20 casks including sherry seasoned European oak casks, combined with first-fill Bourbon casks and refill casks, hand selected by Gordon Motion, Highland Park Master Whisky Maker.
Gordon Motion, has only a very small pool of casks from which to select the 20 casks he needed to create the Spring 2019 release of this, the 25 Year Old.
Working within such limited resources presents interesting challenges as, over time, each cask develops its own distinctive character. Gordon’s role is to explore the natural – and sometimes surprising – variations that each cask reveals, selecting only those he knows will marry well together to deliver the optimum combination of colour, flavour and finish.
From release to release, a rich thread of continuity runs through Highland Park 25 Year Old as well as subtle differences that we are proud to highlight and celebrate. These are a reflection of the honesty with which we make our whisky and a mark of its true character.
Distillery: Highland Park
Kirkwall, Scotland
Here at a beautifully remote distillery in Orkney, Highland Park distillery have been crafting award-winning whisky for over 220 years.
Because of the harsh climate this far north, the Orkneys’ windswept landscapes are treeless. Distillers say this terrain plays into Highland Park’s distinctively smoky, floral flavors, rich with the scent of local heather flower.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich. Soft, plump cherries follow with toasted walnut and a sweet hint from brown sugar. Palate: Stewed fruits and more sweetness from vanilla with some classic Orkney peat for good measure before a hint of spiciness, not too much though. Finish: Sweet, long and delicious.
