Highland Park 1990 Vintage 40%
 A
slight increase in the proportion of
first-fill European oak Sherry casks
underlines the balance between sweetness
and smoke for which Highland Park is
renowned by whisky enthusiasts the world
over. In essence, this expression is a
bridge between 18 year old (known to
many as The Best Spirit in the World
thanks to the Spirit Journal whisky
writer F. Paul Pacult) and 21 year old
(World’s Best Single Malt, World Whisky
Awards 2009). The light green tones on
the packaging represent Orkney’s fertile
farmland.
