Orkney Single Malt Cask 13352 35YO
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a highly matured 35-year-old single malt Scotch whisky, this spirit is bottled at its absolute peak of maturation. Unlike wine, it will not continue to develop in the bottle, but if kept sealed and stored upright away from direct sunlight, it will remain pristine indefinitely. Once opened, it is best enjoyed within 1 to 2 years to preserve its complex aromatic profile.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Aged blue cheeses such as Stilton, high-quality dark chocolate, and rich roasted game dishes like venison.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park is one of Scotland's most remote and historic distilleries, founded in 1798 by the legendary smuggler-turned-preacher Magnus Eunson. This extraordinary 35-year-old single cask release (Cask 13352) epitomizes the distillery's signature style. Orkney's unique terroir is defined by its treeless, heather-rich peat from Hobbister Moor, which imparts a distinctively sweet, floral, and aromatic smoke rather than the medicinal brine of Islay. Slowly matured over three and a half decades in a single hand-selected oak cask, this rare expression showcases a masterful interplay of dark dried fruits, heather honey, warm baking spices, and gentle, lingering peat smoke, reflecting centuries of traditional floor-malting and island maturation.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Highland Park klamrer sig til det forblæste Orkney ud for Skotlands nordlige kyst. Destilleriet blev grundlagt i 1798 af den illegale destillatør Magnus Eunson, inden det opnåede officiel licens i 1826. I dag ejes det af Edrington og ledes af Master Whisky Maker Marc Watson, og Highland Park er et af de få tilbageværende skotske destillerier, der stadig anvender traditionel gulvmaltning til en del af deres byg. Det lokale terroir er uløseligt forbundet med øens barske natur: Det træfattige landskab giver en lyngrig tørv, høstet på det nærliggende Hobbister Moor, som tilfører en aromatisk, floral røg – markant forskellig fra Islays medicinske iodpræg. Destillationen foregår på kobber pot stills, efterfulgt af en tålmodig modning på overvejende sherrykrydrede europæiske og amerikanske egetræsfade i maritime dunnage-lagre. Blandt destilleriets berømte referenceaftapninger findes de klassiske 12-, 18- og 21-års udgaver samt sjældne, ultra-modnede udgivelser som Orcadian Vintage Series og de skelsættende 40- og 50-årige single malts.
