Price Statistics

Description

A curated tasting trio showcasing the iconic range from Orkney’s Highland Park: the approachable 12 Year, luxurious 18 Year, and bold Cask Strength, each in 50 ml bottle format. A perfect sampler for exploring how time and proof shape this distillery’s signature smoky-sweet style. 🥃 What's Inside Expression Profile Highlights 12 Year Old Spicy & well-rounded—waves of Seville orange, heather honey, cinnamon‑nutmeg fruitcake, with subtle peat smoke and a gentle oak finish. 18 Year Old ("Viking Pride") Rich and full-bodied, matured in first-fill sherry casks. Expect dried fruit, dark chocolate, marzipan, candied orange peel, fragrant heather honey, and a whisper of peat smoke . Cask Strength Powerful and unfiltered at barrel proof—intense peat smoke, toffee, spices, dried fruit, poached pear, almond cake, cloudy honey, and salty licorice linger long . 🔍 Why It Stands Out Taste the evolution: From gentle and youthful through elegant sherry-aged to full-throttle barrel strength. Collector's delight: Mini bottles offer variety without full-size commitment—ideal for gifting or travel. Heritage in a box: Highland Park encapsulates Orkney character—rich peat, seasoned oak, balanced sweetness—with each pour embodying craftsmanship  🍷 Serving Suggestions Perfect for educational tasting sessions—neat in a tulip glass to follow progression. Add shoulder-level water to the Cask Strength to unlock hidden layers of richness and smoke. Bottom line: The Highland Park Explorers’ Selection is a masterful introduction to three tiers of single malt excellence—balanced, deep, and unapologetically Orkney. Great for diachronic flavour journeys or the whisky novice seeking clarity in complexity.
