Review by Highland Queen

Pale Golden

Aromas of apple and cinnamon, with hints of salted caramel and toffee.
- Palate
Tingly and mouthwarming notes of spiced cinnamon and apple crumble, with hints of dried fruit. A long and smooth finish.

To celebrate the 120th anniversary of Highland Queen, we have decided to produce a limited volume of this exclusive 30 years old blend in the traditional manner.Our master distiller has taken a selection of top quality malts from 1982, and married this together with a selection of grain whiskies from 1978 and 1979. Highland Queen has always been renowned for the high percentage of malt used in its blends, and this is reflected in the 30 years old blend which has a malt content of over 75%! This blend has then been recasked into sherry butts, which were widely used in the 20th century in the Scotch Whisky industry, and left to marry together for a further 6 months.
