Highland Park Single Cask 7170 Single Malt Scotch Whisky hails from the windswept Orkney Islands off the northern coast of Scotland, a place steeped in Viking history and whisky tradition. Crafted at the historic Highland Park Distillery, this exceptional single malt reflects the distillery's unique balance of robust Islay influence and the gentler character of Lowland malts. Distilled with care and aged for 12 years in a first-fill European oak Sherry hogshead, this cask-strength expression showcases the distinctive maritime essence and rich heritage of its origin.
The whisky opens with a nose of black cherries, fresh pipe tobacco, and a gentle touch of cinnamon, interwoven with the signature heather peat that defines Highland Park’s style. On the palate, vibrant spices mingle with sultanas, candied citrus, and nutty almond notes, creating a complex yet harmonious profile. A whisper of peat lingers throughout, enhancing the whisky’s depth. The finish is long and satisfying, with nutty and spicy undertones that leave a lasting impression.
At 125 proof, this robust single malt is a rare and exclusive gem, with only 306 bottles ever produced. Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to unlock its intricate layers, Highland Park Single Cask 7170 is a collector’s delight and a testament to the artistry of this storied distillery.
