Highland Park, Triskelion, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (45.1%)

Description

The maritime influence struck me first, I found the nose more savoury than any I have come across from the distillery. Quite umami: salty seaweed and charred salmon skin. The gentle, floral peat is worn really rather well - never getting lost amongst the big, first-fill oak, supporting and complimenting that character rather than shouting over it. The back-palate brings those deep, woody flavours. Roasted nuts, salted caramel, heather honey. The viscous, oily structure doesn’t quite compare to that of the older, age-statement Highland Parks, nonetheless there is plenty of texture there to support a delicious and complete dram.

About this spirit

Highland Park Distillery, Orkney

Highland Park, one of only 2 distilleries in the Orkney Isles, was founded in 1798 by Magnus Euson, and is the world's most northerly distillery. Until it was licensed in 1825 it's production was illicit and Euson was assisted in evading the excisemen by a kinsman who was a Kirk elder and hid the contraband under the pulpit. By the 1880s Highland Park had an established reputation and at one time both the King of Denmark and the Emperor of Russia declared it to be the finest whisky they had ever tasted.
