Highland Park Hillhead

Keystone Series Part 5 (Final)
Lot #0540246
FINISH DATE
31 May 2018
Hillhead is the final addition to the very collectable Keystone Series from Highland Park, released April 2018 and only 1,200 bottles available exclusively for the inner circle members.  The Keystone series was launched summer 2016 to share and showcase the impact made by the five traditional keystones of production on their flavour and character of Highland Park Whisky. Hobbister highlighted the contribution of unique heathery peat; Shiel, the impact of their hand turned floor maltings; Quercus, the contribution made by sherry seasonal European oak casks and Yesnaby, the effect of temperature Orcadian climate. Hillhead is named after the distillery in Kirkwall and explores the impact of cask harmonisation.  Master whisky maker Gordon Motion selected three first-fill casks - sherry seasoned European oak, sherry seasoned American oak and ex-bourbon American oak - to highlight the impact of harmonization in the intensely balanced whisky.
Highland Park

The Macallan might be the jewel in the crown of Edrington, but a close second is Highland Park, especially after the brand investment, it has received in recent times. Established in 1798 by David Robertson on the outskirts on Kirkwall on Orkney, history suggests the site was used for illicit distillery way before this official date. In a landscape shaped by nature, ravaged by Vikings and the tides of war, Highland Park manages to bring everything together. A historical whisky that is universally appreciated, offering a little bit of something and famously called an ‘all rounder’, from locally sourced peat to a welcoming rugged characteristic. Highland Park doesn’t need the branding to stand out from the crowd. An increasingly varied core range can seem bewildering to someone new, so start with the 18 year old and being your voyage.

Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
