Highland Park 40 Year Old is a limited release created from five extraordinary casks, originally laid down before 1979, then brought together in 2008 for a further ten years of maturation in first-fill Sherry-seasoned oak casks. The finished whisky is one that begs to be sipped and contemplated. Sumptuous layers of red berries, dark chocolate and silky vanilla are balanced by notes of sun-dried orange zest, freshly grated nutmeg and Highland Park’s legendary aromatic peat smoke. The finish is rich and beautifully enduring. Whether it’s a 40th birthday or 40th anniversary, this is a once in a lifetime whisky for that once in a lifetime moment.
