Highland Park 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Spring 2019 Release

It’s true, bringing an extraordinary and exceptionally balanced 25 Year Old whisky to life isn’t easy. But then again, nothing worthwhile ever is. All those years of ageing in a combination of first-fill sherry ​seasoned European and American oak casks, ​and bourbon casks, in our temperate Orkney climate, has resulted in a whisky with immense depth and vibrant sweetness.

This full-bodied single malt has a rich and nutty spiciness, balanced out with sweet dried fruits, toffee and fudge. It’s been named “Best spirit in the world” by famed whisky writer Paul Pacult in the Spirit Journal. We’re proud of every bottle of whisky we put our name on. But we have to admit this one, with an ABV of 45.7%, is quite special indeed.

" Sometimes you need to start with the end, and it's important to note that the finish here is much drier than the younger (18 Yr) and even older (30 or 40 year) malts from HP. That said, hello, this is Highland Park 25! Of course it is beautifully balanced in flavor between vanilla, caramel, honeysuckle, orange blossom, pipe tobacco and bittersweet chocolate. But the extra sherry contact does stop these flavors short ever-so-slightly. You'd probably only notice if you've had the pleasure of tasting through most of their expressions to detect the slight difference." - Amanda Schuster, Distiller
