Highland Park 21 Year Old is an Orkney single malt that marries three cask types and is bottled at 46% marrying strength.
The 2024 release was made from 48 casks: 25 first-fill sherry-seasoned American oak quarter casks, 15 refill butts and 8 first-fill sherry-seasoned European hogsheads.
First-fill casks bring tangy ginger and sun-ripened oranges, ex-bourbon casks add vanilla cream and honey, and refill casks soften the smoky, spicy complexity. VinePair scored it 94.
