Product details
Introducing the Highland Park Single Cask Strength #5, a limited-edition single malt Scotch whisky that showcases the artistry of traditional whisky making combined with modern flavor exploration. This fifth release has been meticulously matured in a combination of casks, including first-fill, sherry-seasoned European oak casks, Pedro Ximénez casks, refill casks, ex-bourbon casks, and a select few first-fill, sherry-seasoned American oak casks. Bottled straight from the cask without dilution, it captures the raw essence of Highland Park’s craft, delivering a whisky that is both intense and complex.
With its bold character, Cask Strength Release No. 5 opens with captivating aromas of dried cloves, fresh oregano, crushed pine needles, and a hint of wood smoke. On the palate, rich flavors of sun-dried fruits like prunes, dates, and sultanas shine, enhanced by the Pedro Ximénez casks' sweet influence. The European oak casks bring layers of winter spices and liquorice, while the ex-bourbon casks provide subtle notes of cocoa nibs and light oak. The finish is fragrant and smoky, with lingering sherried fruits and sweet spices for a truly memorable experience.
