Highland Park 19 Year Old SMWS The Old Man And The Sea 4.397 59.5%

Highland Park 19 year old bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society evocatively named ’The Old Man And The Sea’ This rare find was originally matured in ex-bourbon hogsheads, then married in a single refill ex-bourbon hogshead, Society Cask No. 4.397. 

The whisky is presented at a robust cask strength of 59.5% abv and is full of old and dignified character. The nose offers a display of restrained heathery peat smoke, forest mushrooms, coastal freshness and dry waxy notes. There is a bolder more assertive peat on the palate with bonfire embers, boiler smoke and chamois leather. These flavours are underpinned by a big, hearty, wonderfully waxy texture. Perfect with a drop of water to give a rich, creamy, mouth filling body and notes of heather honey and lingering peat smoke.

With just 301 bottles released worldwide, this is a great opportunity for enthusiasts to secure a truly unique dram from an iconic distillery.
