HIGHLAND PARK 18 YEARS OLD ORKNEY ISLAND SINGLE MALT
Named "Best Spirit in the World" by noted author F. Paul Pacult (Spirit Journal: The Independent Guide to Distilled Spirits, Wine and Beer, 2005), this is rich and spicy with Highland Park's calling cards of peat, heather, honey, and smokiness. From the most northerly commercial whisky distillery in the world, this single malt is as hearty, independent and traditional as the people who make it.

One of the Scotch world's best values.

THE MACALLAN 18 YEARS OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT
Macallan is considered by many to be the quintessential expression of Speyside malts.
TASTING NOTE: Compelling, crystal clear sherry notes with not a single blemish; massive fruitcake character fortified by a dry oloroso theme ... [Taste:] The whole almost overloads the tastebuds and senses. [Finish:] Just so deft and subtle: the enormity of the mouth arrival settles down now for a series of cross skirmishes between sweetened cocoa, ripe plum and even the softest wave of apologetic peat. Glorious. Score - 95. (Jim Murray, Whisky Bible, 2007)
