128.2 proofCask strength
Highland Park Cask Strength Release No. 3 is the 2022 installment of the Orkney distillery's no-age-statement cask strength series, drawn from first-fill sherry-seasoned American and European oak plus refill casks and bottled non-chill filtered at 64.1% ABV. Master whisky maker Gordon Motion built it on a higher proportion of Highland Park's peated Orkney malt than the core range, putting smoke, brine and toffee at the front of the profile.
What reviewers say
"Keep it simple! It's bloody good... reasonably priced, high ABV, unchillfiltered, plainly labelled whisky." Brian's Malt Musings
