Highland Park Dannebrog Single Orkney Malt Whisky 60,3%

Some names leave no doubt who they're made for. Dannebrog is Highland Park's tribute to the Danish market — a 13-year-old release bottled at cask strength, well beyond the strength of the distillery's standard releases.

Expert Description

Highland Park Dannebrog is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky, 13 years old and bottled at cask strength 60.3%.

The name is a direct nod to the Danish flag and to Highland Park's long relationship with the Danish whisky market. At 60.3%, it's considerably stronger than the distillery's standard releases, giving a more intense and concentrated expression of the characteristic Orkney style.

The high strength means the whisky tolerates — and often benefits from — a few drops of water, which opens up the layers of spice, fruit and peat.

Toasted malt and dark honey meet a warm, spiced peat and a hint of dried fruit.
