Highland Park 17 Year Old Artic Explorer John Rae

This Limited Edition Highland Park 17 year old John Rae Arctic Explorer Single Malt Whisky was created by using predominantly ex-bourbon casks and refill casks, along with smaller quantities of Highland Park's hallmark Sherry seasoned American and European oak casks.
A limited Edition of only 1212 bottles in total.

Tasting Notes:

Light, golden, clear and bright, John Rae Arctic Explorer opens with enticing aromas of heather, honey sweet flowering currant and just a suggestion of charred driftwood in the background. Delicious notes of whipped vanilla cream and toffee sponge cake owe much to the ex-bourbon cask,
while the fruiter notes of caramelised grapefruit and citrus zest are driven by the sherry seasoned casks. A sweet breath of aromatic peat smoke lingers at the end.
