A natural clear and bright, dark red golden in colour. Highland Park 25 Year Old is very rich on the nose, with mature oak, chocolate and fudge. A full palate with a rich burst of flavour, soft honey and nutty toffee. A rich, long finish and surprisingly sweeter than expected for its age. Highland Park 25 Year Old has been created with a higher ABV to preserve some of the highly complex notes. This 25 year old is matured using a very high proportion of first fill sherry casks, which impart not only a wonderfully rich, nutty spiciness but also an intensely dark and full bodied flavour profile of dried fruits, caramel, dark chocolate, golden toffee and slightly drier floral smoke. The 25 years spent in oak have developed this whisky's personality and vibrancy, and helped add a great depth of flavours. |
