Description from the seller
The Highland Park Orcadian Vintage 1971 is a highly coveted, ultra-rare single malt Scotch whisky crafted at the Highland Park distillery on the Orkney Islands.
Specifications
Distillation Year: 1971
Bottling Year: 2011 (Aged for 40 years)
Limited Edition: Only 657 bottles exist worldwide
Strength: 46.9% ABV (Alcohol by Volume)
Cask Type: Matured in 17 specially selected refill Spanish oak ex-sherry casks
Presentation: Enclosed in a heavy glass bottle and showcased in a premium wooden oak box. The box features detailed metallic artwork of an eagle, styled in historical Norse 'Ringerike' art.
Official Tasting Notes
Because of its 40-year maturation, the bold peat smoke typical of Highland Park has softened into a delicate, incredibly complex backdrop.
Color: Bright golden amber.
Nose (Aroma): Rich fruitcake packed with raisins, cherries, and a touch of almond. Underneath, you will find layers of burnt brown sugar, maple syrup, waxy furniture polish, and a very faint, elegant hint of earthy peat smoke.
Palate (Taste): Rich, velvety, and powerful. It tastes of dark chocolate, ripe mango, marsepein, and caramelized brown sugar balanced out by warm baking spices like clove and cinnamon.
Finish: Extremely long and smooth, drying out with a mouth-watering aftertaste of rich plums, woody vanillin, and lingering citrus.
In perfect condition
