Highland Park 40 Year Old Whisky, 70 cl Whisky 5010314308735

The Hallmark of Highland Park production, an all-pervading obsession with the quality and attention to detail, manifests itself in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied sweetness of the whisky. The glory of Highland Park lies in its remarkable balance; this is as evident in the 40 years old as in all other expressions. The strength (alcohol by volume) is relatively high at 47.5% to deliver maximum flavour.

Description

It was Magnus Eunson who founded Highland Park, back in 1798. Much is made of his Viking heritage around the distillery and there is little doubt that, being based on Orkney some 16km north of the Scottish mainland, that the climate is certainly pretty wild being surrounded by stormy seas. Despite its remoteness though, the temperature is relatively steady across the year (rarely varying out of between 2 and 16 degrees) which is perfect for maturing whisky.

Tasting notes

Beautiful balance of sweet toffee notes, dark chocolate, black cherries, honey, sun dried orange zest and aromatic heather peat smokiness

Rob Roy Cocktail Recipe

If there was ever a cocktail to make you feel the glitz and glamour of the history and chic society of New York, it's ordering a Rob Roy. The Rob Roy is a riff on a Manhattan, with their only difference being the base liquor. A Rob Roy is made using blended Scotch while a Manhattan is made with Rye. As such, the cocktail is malty and smooth, with a bit of spice on the finishing end.
