HIGHLAND PARK 1973 37Y 70CL
Highland Park, founded in 1798, stands as one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries. In 1973, the distillery crafted a remarkable whisky. Then, in 2010, Highland Park released a 37-year-old expression exclusively for travel retail. This single malt, bottled at 50.6% ABV, showcases the distillery’s commitment to quality and tradition.
Initially, the nose reveals layers of vanilla and toffee sweetness. Subsequently, floral notes and hints of heather emerge. Then, dried citrus fruits, nutmeg, and coconut add complexity. Finally, a subtle smokiness completes the aromatic profile.
On the palate, citrus notes assert themselves first. Next, caramel and cinnamon provide warmth. Afterward, soft floral flavors and slight oak tones appear. Ultimately, the classic Highland Park spicy smokiness arrives, balancing the experience.
The finish lingers with orange bitters and embers. Then, passion fruit and light liquorice emerge. Finally, a touch of mint leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
Highland Park matured this whisky in refill casks, allowing the spirit’s character to shine. The packaging, featuring a wood carving of the Viking Oseberg ship, reflects Orkney’s Nordic heritage. This expression exemplifies Highland Park’s dedication to craftsmanship and tradition.
Collectors and enthusiasts highly regard this release. Its rarity and quality make it a sought-after addition to any collection. Highland Park’s 1973 37-Year-Old stands as a testament to the distillery’s enduring legacy.
