Highland Park Calle Cask No 1 Single Orkney Malt Whisky 59,8%

A single cask, chosen with a clear purpose in mind. Calle Cask No 1 is one of the rarer Highland Park releases, where the whisky has never touched any other cask — what you taste is exactly what that one cask gave.

Expert Description

Highland Park Calle Cask No 1 is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky from a single cask, bottled at cask strength 59.8%.

As a single cask bottling, the entire release comes from one and the same cask, without being blended with whisky from other casks. That makes every bottle part of a unique, unrepeatable batch, where the cask's full character comes through directly at high strength.

The powerful ABV means the whisky benefits from a few drops of water, which loosens up the layers of spice and fruit that the cask strength otherwise holds tightly together.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Toasted malt and dark honey, with a warm spice trail and a hint of sherried nuts.

Palate

Intense and full-bodied, with caramel, dried fruit and a clear, warming peat.

Finish

Long and powerful, with lingering spice and a final smoky note.
