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 blev grundlagt i 1798 i Kirkwall på det afsidesliggende Orkney-øhav og er et af Skotlands mest traditionsrige og nordligst beliggende single malt-destillerier. Destilleriet, som i dag er ejet af Edrington Group, værner kompromisløst om det klassiske whiskyhåndværk; her praktiserer man fortsat traditionel gulvmaltning med håndkraft og høster tæt, lyngmættet tørv fra den nærliggende Hobbister Moor. Modningen foregår primært på udsøgte sherrytilsmagte egetræsfade i Orkneys kølige, vindblæste kystklima. Dette enestående samspil mellem terroir og håndværk skaber Highland Parks verdensberømte signaturstil, som udmærker sig ved en elegant aromatisk tørverøg, en cremet sødme af lynghonning og dybe, komplekse krydderitoner.
