Bottled directly from the cask without the addition of water to reduce its alcohol content, Highland Park's Cask Strength series is renowned for delivering exceptional depth, complexity, and a harmonious flavor balance. Release No. 3 continues this tradition of excellence.
For this third release, a meticulous blend of three cask types was expertly employed. It includes first-fill sherry seasoned American and European oak casks, complemented by a smaller quantity of refill casks. This combination ensures a whisky with both depth and balance, showcasing the signature qualities of Highland Park's Cask Strength series.
Tasting Note by Highland Park:Palate: Lightly charred oak, honey-glazed lemons, crushed aniseed, ripe mango, cloudy heather honey, whipped vanilla cream, aromatic violet, pink grapefruit zest, rich sponge cake, smouldering peat smoke.

Best single malt!
This hands down for me is the best single malt for the price. Super balanced, and the flavours are 2nd to none! A fast growing English distillery!

Excellent whisky
Jpha had best price out there with discount code and free next day delivery. The whisky is great, its high avc so definitely be generous adding water, but you'll be rewarded with lovely honey, caramel, orange, Heather, smoke/peat, Oakey nutmeg flavours. Smoke and peat are quite high for highland park as well, definitely up from the standard 12

Impressive service.
Unfortunately I can't review the whisky itself, as it joins my collection. However, I can't fault the quality service by JPHA. Especially as I got it at such a good price. I'll be keeping an eye on this online shop.
Many thanks.

it’s fantastic
Color me impressed with Willett Family Estate 4 Year Rye – it’s fantastic. It’s a very interesting, dense, and unique rye that hits all the right rye whiskey notes for me yet adds a unique twist with added lemon, fennel, caraway seed, and general darkness.

Flavours which burst on your tongue
This Malt slowly erupts on your taste buds giving you a smooth yet vibrant flavour of sweet Sherry and an after taste of Oloroso, with a hint of oak.
Its dark colour gives it a warm feel. Personally I prefer it at room temperature without either water or ice.

Great whisky & service
This is likely to become a firm favourite for your drinks cabinet. Excellent warming taste without being over powered by the PX presence.
Also a nod to the prompt service from JPHA in delivering at a great price
