Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Voted the 2nd best whisky of 2023

Released in September 2023, coinciding with the 25th Anniversary of the Orkney-based distillery, Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky brings a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-port casks to the series for the first time. Matured predominantly in first-fill sherry-seasoned European oak casks - this superior selection features a marriage of other 1st fill casks. These include ex-bourbon, sherry-seasoned American oak, and ex-port hogsheads, with a small portion of premium refill casks added for good measure. Bottled straight from the cask at 128.6-proof, Cask Strength No. 4 is remarkably smooth and quaffable despite its high proof.

A remarkably smooth cask strength whisky

The nose opens with an enticing aroma of toasted coconut and Turkish delight, thanks to the influence of the ex-bourbon and ex-port casks. Intriguing flavors of zesty pink grapefruit and fragrant rose water emerge on the palate, balanced by earthier suggestions of seasoned wood and heather-rich peat. The long finish reveals exotic sunbaked spices and a ribbon of licorice running through a final breath of florally smoke.

This is a whisky that is at once classic enough to please the Highland Park faithful while offering something that’s just different enough to merit a spot on the shelf next to your other Orkney-born bottles. If you can find it, give it a whirl.
