Description
The Highland Park 18 Years Old Sky of Orkney is an exclusive, premium matured bottling from the famous Highland Park Distillery on the Orkney Islands – one of Scotland’s oldest and most northerly distilleries. This strictly limited edition has been matured for 18 years in premium sherry-seasoned oak casks, giving the single malt its remarkable complexity, depth and balance. Bottled at a powerful 46% vol. with no chill-filtration and no colouring, this whisky perfectly reflects the rugged beauty and original character of the Orkneys.
The climatic conditions on the windswept archipelago give the whisky a subtle maritime note, while the long maturation in sherry casks ensures a complex variety of flavours – from fruity to spicy to an elegant smoky note. The name “Sky of Orkney” refers to the ever-changing skies over the islands, whose beauty and depth reflect the character of this whisky. The stylish gift box emphasises the premium quality of this limited bottling.
