 |
|
OK i know this one is not readily available this side of the water yet but i thought i would give it a mention.
Highland Park Leif Eriksson, a limited edition exclusive to travel retail, was revealed at the IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas. Bottled at 40% ABV and will retail at £53 (60 euro). After the launch in America the new Highland Park expression will be rolled out in key travel retail outlets worldwide.
More about it plus tasting note here:

is the statement by HPs Gerry Tosh perhaps a hint that this is a very young expression or contains some very young HP | Quote: | | For consumers who have tasted our new make spirit, they may note how its character comes through very strongly in this latest expression; honey sweetness from the peat and a delicious maltiness. |

I cant recall another Highland Park which didnt carry a an age or vintage statement. There definitely seems to be a trend by distillers now towards no age statement whisky. |

i cant say i recall any official highland park distillery bottlings with no age statement. and it is only a 70cl bottle for £53 were travel retail bottles are often 1 litre bottles. They state it is a limited edition but how limited. |

how can that be that a swiss whisky shop is selling this highland park in their shop as I was under the impression that this was for travel retail only??? Price for that one is 95CHF.

| It is definitely a travel retail bottling, it looks like they have acquired some one way or another and then marked the price up. It is not uncommon for travel retail bottlings to sometimes find there way into whisky specialist shops. |
