Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 2

Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 2

For this second release in the Cask Strength series, Gordon Motion, Highland Park Master Whisky Maker, selected mainly sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, along with just a few ex-bourbon casks. You'll find aromas of summer rose, ripe pear and fresh coconut gathering on a wave of aromatic peat smoke, followed by a wild harmony of sweet and spicy flavors - poached pear and rich almond cake, a drizzle of cloudy honey and a twist of salty licorice. There's the suggestion of toasted oak and intriguing notes of orchard fruits, black pepper and sweet aniseed linger, in a satisfyingly long finish. In a word (or three) they call it ‘smoky peppered praline’.
