Highland Park Shannon Cask Strength Release No.3 Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Highland Park's Cask Strength single malt undergoes a meticulous production process. This particular release showcases a remarkable complexity, achieved by incorporating a higher proportion of Orkney peated malt. The maturation takes place in a combination of three distinct types of casks - first-fill European and American oak sherry casks, alongside a smaller number of refill casks. Upon nosing, one is greeted by a captivating array of smoky aromas, where smouldering peat, charred oak, honey-glazed lemons, and crushed aniseed intertwine. These captivating scents are further enhanced by the presence of ripe mango, cloudy heather honey, vanilla ice cream, dried violets, pink grapefruit zest, freshly-baked sponge cake, and heathery peat smoke throughout the palate, culminating in a lingering finish.
