Uncover a true gem from the Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky reserve with this inaugural release of 'The Accolade' part of Duncan Taylor's Rarest Collection, an aged 54-year-old Highland Park. . Distilled in 1970, this exceptional whisky has been meticulously selected to showcase the unparalleled quality and character of Orkney's finest.

This 54-year-old Highland Park marks the inaugural release of 'The Accolade' by Duncan Taylor Whisky; the pinnacle of spirit within their esteemed Rarest Collection. Distilled in 1970, cask number 3254 was selected to showcase the distillery's unparalleled quality and hallmark character. In addition, it represents the oldest age statement Highland Park released by an independent bottler; an overall testament to Duncan Taylor's steadfast commitment to exceptional quality, tradition, and the pursuit of perfection.

Housed in an elegantly finished cabinet accentled with a dynamic wave, the spirit reveals itself within an evocative hand-crafted dagger decanter; complemented by the themed wave in the form of an illuminated copper plinth. A certificate of authenticity and handling kit containing handling gloves are housed in either side of the cabinet.

Cask number 3254 yielded a mere 158 bottles at 42.9% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

Nose- This exceptional dram boasts a rich, multifaceted nose that unveils layers of leather, caramel, marzipan and a symphony of alluring red fruits, melon and soft, lingering smoke

Palate- On the palate, the experience deepens, as the whisky seamlessly blends cherries and apricots with the gentle embrace of peat and the warmth of nutmeg. Layers of sweet woody notes, wet stones and mineral sea.

Finish- A luxurious, creamy finish that lingers with delicate spice, evoking the decadence of crème brûlée and the comforting sweetness of red apple tart tatin.
