Tasting note
- Appearance : Jaune citron.
- Nose : Ample, rond. Il est nettement marqué par les fruits mûrs (ananas, poire, prune) et par le miel d'acacia. Il évolue sur les zest d'agrumes (citron) agrémentés d'une agréable note fumée. Evoque les brindilles séchèes.
- Palate : Douce presque moelleuse. Elle est épicée (poivre, cannelle) et fruitée (poire). Elle se développe sur des notes d'amande douce et d'herbe sèche. Une touche de cire d'abeille procure une sensation huileuse.
- Overall : Longue, elle se montre cendrée (cigare) et finement herbacée (malt vert). A noter la présence de sel qui réhausse la finale et lui procure une sensation de grande sapidité.

The brand
Highland Park owes its special character to two elements that are essential to the production of whisky: people and peat. The latter, used for the barley it malts on site, comes directly from its own peat bogs, which are composed almost exclusively of Calluna heather and its roots. When it comes to people, Highland Park is so proud of its roots that it was the last distillery, a century ago, to still use endemic Scottish barley for the production of its whisky. It even experimented with maturation in Scottish oak casks. Luckily that experiment was abandoned when they proved to be too resinous. Find out more

Merchant
Although the independent bottler Signatory Vintage cannot claim to be one of the oldest in Scotland, it has managed to build up an extremely solid reputation amongst the great malt connoisseurs. The creator of the famous range The Prestonfield and many other well-known ranges, it is best known for its un-chillfiltered and cask strength bottlings that offer amateurs the chance to enjoy their whisky in its most natural form. It was also one of the first independent bottlers to acquire a distillery and now offers a growing number of expressions of one of the most artisan single malts available.
The line
The Cask Strength Collection of single malt and single grain whiskies is without doubt one of the most appreciated ranges. Each release is bottled undiluted, unchillfiltered and usually consists of a single cask. To help the consumer appreciate their whisky at more than a purely aromatic and gustatory level, Signatory Vintage takes care to display on each label, with great precision, the region of production, the date of distillation and bottling, the type of cask used, its number and the number of bottles of the same nectar that were produced. This range thus offers some fascinating facts, in addition to exceptional quality!
