Lot number: 019483
Winning bid: £200
Ambassador Cask 2 - Number 1071
The first Ambassador’s cask was classic Highland Park with a lovely buttery flavour. Keen to give you something different, the selection was down to a final four casks; released in June 2006 as a 10 year old, #1071 stood out because of its complexity. It was not as big and fruity as the classic Highland Park but it did show the characteristics in a different way. Gerry found it to be very light and floral with undertones of the fruit within. The sweetness was unusual, not overly sweet, but it was still there with the gentle smoky aftertaste – that seemed to keep the whisky alive within the glass and delivered fuller flavour.
