Highland Park Single Cask California Edition Scotch Whisky, a single cask release made available exclusively to California. Part of their acclaimed Single Cask series, the Scotch is crafted from 100% malted Scottish barley, dried over peat flames, and distilled in copper stills before being aged in refill sherry butts. After this long maturation period, the barrel is tapped and its contents bottled at cask-strength to create a unique and intense expression that is bound to please even the most discriminating Scotch drinker.

From Highland Park Single Cask’s travel retail Warrior series comes Einar, a bold, intense dram that has been matured mostly in American oak casks. It’s packed with smoky peat, sweet vanilla, and subtle tropical fruit notes, culminating in a long, well-balanced finish of smoke and sweetness. This entry in the Warrior series is named after Einar, who once ruled over Orkney, where the Highland Park distillery resides.

This is a whisky that shows how little meaning there is in terms like first fill, 2nd fill, refill, etc. Sure they tell you how many times the cask has been used, but it doesn’t tell you how long it’s been used, and that’s a much more important bit of info. Think about it like this.

You have two 13-year-old whiskies from the same distillery to choose from. Whisky 1 was aged in a refill sherry butt which previously held whisky for 10 years. Whisky 2 was aged in a refill sherry butt that was previously used to finish a whisky for 6 months.

Nose:

Fresh, clean, and very aromatic. Floral notes abound the senses with a light grassiness. Notes of creamy Manuka honey and a touch of juicy citrus with cream and a well-balanced sweetness.

Palate:

Rather full with a pleasant depth. Lurking somewhere in the substratum a grilled orange lies. Notes of granary toast and green tea with jasmine. A touch of sweetness.

Finish:

Quite long with peppery spice and wood shavings.
