Highland Park – 2007 17 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask 5358 (70cl, 59.9%)

This is a 17-year-old single cask Highland Park, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for its Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range. The spirit was distilled in 2007 and bottled on 3 June 2025 at a natural cask strength of 59.9% ABV, in a 70cl bottle. It matured in a first-fill sherry butt, cask 5358, and yielded 606 bottles. The whisky is non-chill-filtered and of natural colour. Highland Park stands in Kirkwall on Orkney, and the distillery still uses a proportion of locally cut Orkney peat. The tasting notes describe fragrant raisin with peanuts and tangerine peel, then apple, raspberry, fudge and a hint of coffee bean, ending in a medium-length finish with lingering spice.
