Description

Highland Park 35 Year Old 1987 (Connoisseurs Choice, Single Cask #21604501) Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl, 56.9%)

Distilled in 1987 and matured for over three decades, this Highland Park 35 Year Old is an exceptional single cask release from Gordon & MacPhail’s revered Connoisseurs Choice range. Drawn from cask #21604501 and bottled at natural cask strength (56.9% ABV), this is a rare glimpse into the elegant, peated complexity that defines Orkney’s most iconic distillery.

Aged in a single refill sherry hogshead, the whisky offers a beautifully balanced nose of heather smoke, dried orange peel, polished oak, and warm spice. On the palate, expect a luxurious depth of honeyed malt, antique leather, stewed fruits, and coastal salinity, wrapped in a whisper of lingering peat and sherry richness.

Unfiltered, natural in colour, and bottled in limited quantity, this 35-year-old release is a true connoisseur’s dram — sophisticated, subtle, and full of story.
