Master Whisky Maker Gordon Motion crafted it from fewer than 20 hand-selected casks, all distilled in 1994 or earlier, combining sherry-seasoned European oak with first-fill bourbon and refill casks. It is bottled at 46% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighland Park's annual releases of its oldest whiskies are each built from a small parcel of casks, so every year's 25 Year Old has its own character. In the Spring 2019 edition the sherry-seasoned European oak brings soft dried fruits, buttery fudge and gingerbread, while the bourbon and refill casks keep the spirit bright, with Highland Park's signature light peat smoke and a touch of coastal salt on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whisky is matured on Orkney, where Highland Park has distilled since 1798 and where the cool maritime climate and heathery, aromatic peat cut from the island's own moorland help shape its famous balance of honeyed sweetness and gentle smoke. The embossed bottle is presented in a black frame box marked Spring 2019 Release, a fine piece for any Scotch collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complex, spicy and perfumed, with soft dried fruits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buttery fudge, gingerbread, rich toffee and caramel, with a very light touch of smoky char.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine peat smoke with a delightful touch of coastal saltiness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring 2019 Release, fewer than 20 casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 years (distilled 1994 or earlier)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sherry-seasoned European oak, first-fill bourbon and refill casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orkney, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass and let it rest a few minutes so the dried fruit and toffee open.
