Highland Park Fullvolume Single Orkney Malt Whisky 47,2%

A whisky maker and a music producer have more in common than you might think — both are about balance. Highland Park Fullvolume was created with that idea as its starting point, wrapped in packaging inspired by vintage guitar amplifiers.

Expert Description

Highland Park Fullvolume is a Single Orkney Malt Whisky matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 47.2%.

The whisky was distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2017 by the distillery's then master whisky maker Gordon Motion, who used 100% ex-bourbon casks to create a brighter, more citrus-driven profile than many of Highland Park's sherry-heavy releases. The packaging is inspired by classic guitar amplifiers, where dials on the side illustrate the whisky's different flavour elements of bourbon, peat, vanilla and fruit.

Fullvolume is a limited edition release that shows a different, lighter side of the distillery's style.
