To celebrate the 120th anniversary of Highland Queen, they have decided to produce a limited volume of this exclusive 30 year old blend in the traditional manner. The 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. The sweetness from the sherry cask comes through on the nose, together with notes of butterscotch, leather and spices. One can also detect hints of cinnamon and apple. In the mouth the whisky is exceptionally smooth and elegant, there are hints of smoke and an underlying flavour of cinnamon apple crumble. The finish is long and elegant.
