Founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson, the Highland Park distillery stands as Scotland’s northernmost distillery situated in Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands. Their whiskeys are renowned for their exceptionally smoky character due in part to their use of locally cut peat in drying their malt giving them a unique edge that allowed their whiskeys to rake in awards and accolades from spirits rating organizations including the only 100% rating given out by Scotland’s national newspaper, The Scotsman.

Among their more recent releases by the distillery is the Highland Park Single Cask Florida Edition Scotch Whisky, a 15-year old expression of their famed Single Cask series reserved exclusively for Florida. Distilled from malted Scottish barley dried over peat flames, the whiskey is aged in refill sherry butts labeled cask #3233 for a total of 15 years before being tapped and bottled at cask-strength.

On the nose, this bright gold Scotch yields a pleasing aroma consisting of citrus notes, light oak, sherry, and a hint peat smoke. This then gives way to a sweet and rich palate of vanilla, more sherry and citrus, and a more generous helping of peat before finally imparting a final gift of a short yet lingering finish of dry sherried notes.

With the cask yielding a total of 584 bottles, the Highland Park Single Cask Florida Edition Scotch Whisky is an exceptionally rare and well-aged treat that fits perfectly with any collection. So whether you’re planning on shelving a bottle for a special occasion or immediately indulging on its extraordinary flavors, make sure you get one for yourself while you still can.
