Trivia / Story:
This limited release marks the first in Highland Park’s refreshed Cask Strength series, designed to showcase the distillery’s signature heathered peat influence at its most intense. Matured in first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks with select refill casks, and bottled without chill filtration or added colour, it represents one of the purest expressions of Orkney whisky character.
