Highland Park has created an exclusive Single Cask bottling for Heathrow and World Duty Free, a Dufry company. This extremely limited edition \u2013 just 588 bottles are available \u2013 will only be sold in World Duty Free\u2019s specialist World of Whiskies stores at Heathrow.<\/p>\n

The launch event, which took place on 5th May during Heathrow\u2019s Whisky Festival, saw Martin Markvardsen, Highland Park\u2019s Senior Brand Ambassador, make a guest appearance in World of Whiskies at Terminal 5 to lead tasting and educational activities, as well as a World Duty Free Twitter Takeover, where he interacted online with Highland Park fans and whisky connoisseurs.<\/p>\n

The 14-year-old Highland Park Single Cask Edition for Heathrow and World of Whiskies is drawn from a 500 litre ex-sherry cask made from Spanish Oak. It was filled on 25th July 2002 and placed in Warehouse 20 at Highland Park distillery in Orkney before being moved to Glasgow at the end of 2016. It was bottled at cask strength \u2013 58.2% ABV.<\/p>\n

On the nose, the whisky has aromas of ripe black cherries and rich cocoa, as well as a delicate mix of ginger, cinnamon and peat smoke. The palate is spicy and long-lasting, with notes of honeycomb and a gentle wash of peat smoke. It finishes with mouth-coating honey and richness from the peat.<\/p>\n
