"A giant of a whisky ... Highland Park Cask Strength Batch #4 combines power and intensity with expressive subtlety." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate
Single malt fans need no introduction to Highland Park or their 2023 #2 Whisky of the Year, the Cask Strength Batch #4. This powerhouse expression from master blender Gordon Motion blew the doors off the collectible Scotch scene when it first hit the market, and its status was further confirmed when it notched 95 points from Advocate along with that #2 honor.
Motion went way outside the box with this batch, using a highly varied, unconventional mix of finishing casks to create a flavor and aroma profile that is singular in every way. The signature here is his rare use of port pipes as part of the finishing regimen, adding "a daring new streak of flavor," as noted by McCormick. It's a "stellar accomplishment" any way you look at it, and now we have it at a remarkable, market-leading price, but only for a limited time and while supplies last. Once it's gone, it's gone for good. |
