Highland Park 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Product Information

NEW LOOK, SAME WHISKY - Highland Park 18 has a new look inspired by the natural beauty and creative spirit of its home in Orkney but is still the same well-loved whisky inside.

Deep and intensely fruity but effortlessly smooth, Highland Park 18-year-old is our most highly awarded (and dearly beloved) whisky, and for good reason. With a natural glowing amber colour straight from the cask, it's a multi-layered whisky with many stories to tell—just like the people who make it.

Rich, fruity, caramelised sweetness on the nose, followed by finely balanced notes of orange zest, dark chocolate and aromatic smoke from our Orkney heathered peat on the palate. The finish is lingering, sweet and spicy with slightly nutty notes.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Features

· A wild harmony of ripe cherries, bitter dark coca, fresh honeycomb and salted peat smoke.

· Matured in a high proportion of first-fill European and American sherry seasoned oak casks.

PRODUCT OF SCOTLAND.

ESTD 1798.

"THE BEST SPIRIT IN THE WORLD".

DISTILLED IN KIRKWALL.

At HIGHLAND PARK we insist on an uncompromising approach to whisky-making. We're one of only a handful of distilleries that slowly malts its barley on the stone floor, physically TURNING IT BY HAND for a more balanced flavour. Next, we smoke it over local AROMATIC PEAT, hand-cut from Hobbister Moor to bring a unique fragrant heather character to the whisky. Then it's placed into oak casks - not just your usual bourbon casks though - SHERRY OAK CASKS FROM SPAIN that cost ten times as much, but bring a priceless natural colour and flavour to our whisky. Then comes the hardest part: leaving it be for 18 or more years to mature in the consistently cool ORCADIAN air. And even when it's ready, we're not. We choose and combine our best casks, then leave them to settle and HARMONISE FOR JUST THAT LITTLE BIT LONGER TO DELIVER OUR COMPLEX WHISKY. THE RESULT HAS BEEN NAMED "THE BEST SPIRIT IN THE WORLD" .
UNIQUELY SMOOTH AND BALANCED, IT HAS A RICH TOFFEE SWEETNESS and a long mouthwatering smokey finish. It's the kind of DRAM you long for when you've worked as hard as us.

At HIGHLAND PARK, it's taken us over 200 years to know what we know about whisky. If you'd like to discover more for yourself, visit us at www.highlandpark.co.uk

Preparation and Usage

ENJOY THE PERFECT GLASS OF HIGHLAND PARK.
First, hold your glass to the light to enjoy the burnished GOLD glow, then tilt and rotate it to see the beads of whisky appear on the inside of the glass. The smaller they are, the higher the alcohol strength, and the slower they fall, the better the spirit quality.

Next, add a drop of water and take three long sniffs. The first just gets your nose used to the alcohol, but in the second, you'll discover our characteristic toffee sweetness, and in the THIRD, an almond nuttiness reminiscent of marzipan.

Now, taste the whisky by CHEWING it in your mouth for 4 or 5 seconds, then swallow. The sides of your tongue will tingle, and after a few seconds your mouth will go dry, then water again - a unique characteristics of this great spirit.
Adding more water to this whisky prolongs it's FULL SMOKEY FINISH.
