An outstanding bottle from Highland Park, first released in April 2008, this is the oldest permanent expression of Highland Park and is and the culmination of years of the finest whisky making experience.
The three most important words associated with the creation of unconventional, distinctly balanced single malts are patience, patience, and patience.
Created using a high proportion of first-fill sherry seasoned European oak casks, and bottled at 47.5% ABV, this 40 Year Old is testament to patience.
Highly complex and beautifully balanced, this single malt whisky exhibits aromatic layers of smoke yielding to delicately sweet notes of toffee, dark chocolate and candied lemon.
This whisky was described in Whisky Magazine as “an incredibly well drinking Highland Park… sharing some of the 18 Year Old’s refinement but taking it into a different league.”
Bottled at 48.3% the presentation of this whisky is on par with the whisky itself, presented in a stunning Highland Park presented wooden box with proper hinges and a magnetic closure, with leather-bound booklet inside extolling the virtues of distillery and dram.
Nose: Rich and full with notes of pine and eucalyptus oil as well as hints of manuka honey. Fruit notes and heather soon develop with gentle smoke.
Palate: Full and oily. Notes of leafy greenness and marzipan with hints of sherry. Thick oak notes soon come into play with marmalade and a touch of warming spice.
Finish: Long with perfumy notes and oak.
