Highland Park Cask Strength – Release No. 2

Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 2 is a very special bottle. Cask Strength means that it was bottled from a single cask, hence it is impossible to achieve a uniform expression that can be reproduced annually. Sometimes, however a particularly good maturation takes place under particularly good circumstances. And sometimes these bottlings are so popular that they warrant a second release. Defying all logic, Highland Park has outdone their first excellent release with their second. The result is a uniquely balanced whisky experience, at an an 63.9% is is strikingly mild and well-balanced. A contemporary classic; nothing less.
