Highland Park Cask Strength Batch 3 70cl 64.1°
The distillery offers cask strength versions bottled without chill filtration to experience Highland Park flavours in their purest form.
Edition n°3 contains a greater proportion of peated malt than the previous ones, thus offering more marked smoky aromas associated with the typical flavours of Highland Park, with notes of heather honey.
This whisky has aged in American and European 1st and 2nd fill Sherry casks, resulting in a beautiful deep golden colour.

Highland Park is the most northern Scottish distillery, and overlooks Kirkwall town and the famous Scapa Flow.
At the end of the 18th century, Magnus Eunson, pastor and famous smuggler, would have distilled whisky where the distillery is now sat. He used to hide stocks of illegal whisky under his pulpit. Highland Park doubled its production capacity in 1898, 10 years after being purchased by James Grant from the Glenlivet distillery. It has been part of the Highlands Distilleries Groups since 1937.
5 key elements contribute to the success of Highland Park Single Malt :

- The aromatic peat imparts a seducing and generous floral sweetness to the malt;
- Chill-maturation magnifies its sweetness;
- The oak casks account for the complexity and unique richness of the malt;
- The cask harmonization grants consistency and balance.
