Cheers William, these all sound good, be interesting to see how much smoke is in the 1998. In fact i would give them all a try as they all sound interesting.

Cheers William, i will watch out for them on my travels. HP does leave other distilleries standing when it comes to the variety of new whiskies they have.

I wouldnt mind trying the 1990 which is described as a bridge between the 18 year old and 21 year old as i love both these expressions. Highland Park are very good at keeping you interested.

I agree Alastair Highland Park certain dont stand still, they are certainly releasing enough to keep us interested. Hopefully they get the new bottles in Prestwick airport as that is the airport i pass through most.

I will take a bottle of the 1994 which has a higher proportion of first-fill European oak Sherry casks. In fact i will take them all Very Happy

I will watch out for these, good to see new releases that are in my price range, well 3 out of 4 of them are. Is the 21 year old still available in the Duty Free, last couple of times in the airport they had none of it, anyone know anything about it.

I havent seen any of the 21 year old in the airports i have passed through since they reduced the ABV.

I will have to watch out for the new vintages on my travels.

I see Highland Park have also released a 5cl miniature of their 40 year old whisky. It is priced at Â£75 from HPs shop.
