Highland Park 40 Year Old
Rich and beautifully balanced, deep and aromatic, and infused with a delicate sweetness, this truly exceptional 40 Year Old single malt whisky is the product of just five refill casks originally laid down before 1979. These casks were brought together in 2008 and filled into first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks to intensify the maturing whisky's flavour over a further 10 years of maturation. The refill casks that originally held this whisky are ideal for a long, slow maturation while the first-fill sherry seasoned casks in which the whisky completed its maturation, bring a depth of character and nutty, fruit-filled notes of sherry to the fore.

Highland Park 30 Year Old
A complex expression created from fewer than 20 casks laid down in 1989 and earlier years, our 30 Year Old Spring 2019 Release is the rarefied result of a trio of different cask types. Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion, took the unusual step of bringing together three different cask types for this release. For sweet notes of vanilla and honey with hints of sharp citrus, he selected first-fill ex-bourbon casks; to add rich layers of stewed fruit and warm spice flavours, first-fill sherry seasoned casks were selected; and finally, a small but vital number of refill casks were called in to round off the harmony of flavours.
