H2. Highland Park 54-Year-Old The story of this exceptional single malt scotch whisky begins 54-years ago in Orkney. Although Orkney has been home to the Highland Park Distillery for 225 years, Orkney’s own story is some 400 million years older and the detailed and complex strata found in the Cliffs of Yesnaby, dating right back to the Devonian period, are the inspiration for the design of this whisky’s stunning decanter and presentation case. And it’s to the outstanding skills of Highland Park’s Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion, that this remarkable whisky owes its flavour and character. Highland Park’s distillery’s oldest and rarest release to date, 54-Year-Old is intensely rich, sweet and complex. Intriguing aromas of exotic lychee and aromatic camphor, vintage oak and delicate peat, herald the exquisitely balanced flavours that follow. Warm spices— crushed cumin and coriander seeds—emerge and subside to reveal fragrant notes of summer rose and jasmine, with just a hint of honeyed kiwi fruit and pistachio biscotti. Sweet and spicy at the end, woody notes give way to a lingering whisper of sweet fenugreek and heathery peat smoke. Only 225 bottles have been released—representing every year of production in Highland Park’s 225-year history—each one steeped in the magic of the Orkney Islands.
