Highland Park, 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

The three most important words associated with the creation of unconventional, distinctly balanced single malts are patience, patience, and patience. Created using a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks, and bottled at 47.5% ABV, this 40 Year Old is testament to patience. Highly complex and beautifully balanced, this single malt scotch whisky exhibits aromatic layers of smoke yielding to delicately sweet notes of toffee, dark chocolate and candied lemon. This whisky was described in Whisky Magazine as "an incredibly well drinking Highland Park.. sharing some of the 18 Year Old’s refinement but taking it into a different league." We’ve been crafting our award-winning whisky 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. Something magic happens here and the result is the wild harmony of flavours found in our whisky. Rich coppery amber hue. Spicy, aromatic, background rich dark fruits, nutmeg and darkest chocolate. Beautiful balance of sweet toffee notes, dark chocolate, sun-dried orange zest and heather peat smokiness. Rich, long smoky and surprisingly sweet.
