Highland Park 10 Year
$64.99
Opened up to the Alberta market in early 2017, this is a great value bottling of Highland Park. The whisky has been matured in American oak and is bottled at 40%. We are looking forward to the opportunity to try it!
Producer Description
"Matured predominantly in European and American sherry seasoned oak casks, Highland Park 10 Year Old is a vibrant and smooth single malt, bursting with flavours of crushed citrus fruit and lightly whipped vanilla cream. You’ll detect hints of heather honey in its aromatic peat smoke and just a trace of peppery spice. Delicious with pan-fried scallops wrapped in bacon or with a salted-honey vanilla cream parfait – you can use it to create a classic Old Fashioned too."
Highland Park 30 Year
$3,999.99
The Highland Park 30 Year has been increasingly rare and hard to find the last few years. Matured in Refill Sherry the whisky is a delicately balanced older malt in contrast to the bolder 25 year. Bottled at 45.7%.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nutmeg | Dark chocolate orange | Aromatic peat smoke | Sticky toffee pudding | Sea salt
Distiller's Description
Maturation in refill Sherry seasoned casks prevents oak from dominating the flavours of the whisky as it would if first-fill casks were used. This allows our robust and oily new make spirit to gently mature over an extended period of time, delivering a full-on aromatic peat flavour with a surprisingly sweet finish.
Highland Park 40 Year
$15,000.00
Producer Description
First released in April 2008, HIGHLAND PARK 40 Year Old is batched in very small quantities with only 10 casks selected for each bottling – it’s the culmination of years of whisky-making knowledge and experience.
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’, our 40 Year Old is both highly complex and beautifully balanced, a rich and luxurious single malt at once deep, aromatic and smoky, yet singing with the sweetest notes of soft toffee, dark chocolate and fragrant orange zest.
Andrew's Tasting Note (From 2008)
My tasting note from Highland Park Distillery on Monday September 8th 2008. 48.3%
Nose: strawberries and whipped cream, fresh peach, crème brule and white chocolate.
Palate: dark fruits in fresh whipped cream with dark chocolate, honey and smoke show up later.
Finish: buttery and mouthwatering with honey, fresh fruit and rich cream.
Comment: As my friend, Jane would say, "it tastes like more!" Although Highland Park has not positioned this whisky to be a collectible, it is beautifully packaged and a real treasure.
Highland Park Valknut
$104.99
Valknut is the second release in Highland Park's Viking Legend series. Produced from a higher proportion of spirit peated with Orkney malt and predominantly matured in Sherry seasoned casks, Valknut is said to be a sweeter and smokier take on Highland Park. Bottled without added colouring at 46.8%.
Producer's Description
"Created using a higher proportion of our local peated malt and predominantly matured in sherry seasoned oak casks to give this whisky its smoky, sweet flavour, "VALKNUT is the second in our Viking Legend series, celebrating our rich Nordic ancestry here on Orkney.
"Valknut means ‘knot of those slain in battle’ and its symbol of three interlinked triangles appears on numerous artefacts from the Viking Age. The symbol is closely associated with the Norse god, Odin, who guided the spirits of the dead to the underworld and back to the world of the living, and is believed to represent the transition from life to death or the connection between earthly life and heavenly life."
Highland Park 15 Year
$165.99
Limit 1 Per Customer!
Bottled at 44% after maturing in predominantly sherry seasoned American oak casks, the whisky was filled into ceramic bottles, a nod to whisky's history.
Producer Description
To create 15 Year Old Viking Heart, Gordon Motion, our Master Whisky Maker, selected predominantly sherry seasoned European oak casks to deliver warm, spicy notes and sherry seasoned American oak casks to provide a balance of sweet vanilla. Expertly adding just a few refill casks to soften and smooth the flavours, Gordon chose to bottle at 44% ABV to allow the whisky’s vibrant fruitiness and distinctive heathery peat smoke to shine through.
About the Bottle
Why a ceramic decanter? Rewind a century or two and our whisky would have been stored in earthenware vessels. Inspired by examples found at our distillery in Orkney, we asked Wade Ceramics if they could work with us to create a modern version. Established in 1810 and based in Stoke-on-Trent in England (known globally as the traditional home of ceramics) Wade share our commitment to environmental responsibility, focusing on sustainable manufacturing and using locally sourced raw materials. The lead-free porcelain decanter is 100% food safe, glazed inside and out, and embossed with the lion and serpent design that appears on many of our glass bottles. Look closely at the back of the bottle and you’ll find the heart motif that inspired this whisky’s name.
Orkney Sponge Highland Park 1998 No.001
$889.99
Producer Note
"Introducing... Orkney Sponge! Our mash up of the Whisky Sponge and Old Orkney brands because we're into that kind of fun and nonsense! Edition OO1 is a 1998 refill hogshead of 23 year old Highland Park. It has been bottled at natural cask strength of 57.0% and has a surprisingly peaty and almost old style HP profile with plenty dry herbal and medical notes with loads of coastal freshness. Just the style we adore from this, one of our favourite distilleries. Old Orkney was, of course, the brand associated with Stromness back before the distillery sadly closed in the 1920s. It was way ahead of its time in terms of funny and witty advertising and super elegant, cool branding. It has long been an inspiration for what we've tried to do with Sponge, which is why we went out of our way to buy the brand. Orkney Sponge is our first wee experiment at having some fun with Old Orkney."
Highland Park Cask Strength No. 3 2022
$154.99
The 2022 Highland Park Cask Strength, Edition No. 3, was created from whiskies matured in first fill American and European oak sherry seasoned casks as well as a small quantity of refill casks, before bottling at an impressive 64.1%.
Producer Description
"This third release has been created using an expertly balanced combination of three cask types – first-fill sherry seasoned American and European oak casks and a smaller quantity of refill casks for balance and depth. Using a higher proportion of Orkney peated malt, our Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion, has achieved an intensely smoky character, coming through first on the nose with aromas of smouldering peat and lightly charred oak, balanced by honey-glazed lemons and crushed aniseed.
"Discover what best suits your palate by experimenting with the amount of water you add as you release this whisky’s distinctive notes of ripe mango, cloudy heather honey and whipped vanilla cream with a hint of aromatic violet. Pink grapefruit zest, freshly-baked sponge cake and a final gust of heathery peat smoke provide a long and distinctive finish."
Highland Park Cask Strength No. 4 2023
$169.99
The 2023 Edition of the Cask Strengh Highland Park is here. Bottled at a subtle yet pleasant 64.3% ABV.
From The Producer
"Our fourth release has been matured predominantly in first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks, along with first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks, a small quantity of refill casks, ex-bourbon casks and – for the first time – ex-port casks too. Bottled straight from the cask, without the addition of water to reduce alcohol content, our Cask Strength series marries the traditional craft of whisky making with a modern approach to flavour exploration."
