Highland Park in Highland Park
Attention Chicago.
This Thursday, April 27th, from 6:30 - 8:30 pm, Gerry Tosh (Highland Park Global Ambassador) will be at the Binny's in Highland Park to officially roll out a new special 34 year old single cask bottling.
Distilled in 1971 and matured in cask for 34 years, this cask strength (53% abv) is priced at $350 per bottle, but is available at $325 to celebrate the release.
Brett tells me:
This is pretty yummy stuff. It was being poured at the Highland Park booth at WhiskyFest Chicago, and was one of the hits of the show.
This is prototypical older HP, layers of flavors, chocolate, dried fruit, packing spice, pepper. I normally wouldn't buy a whole cask of whisky that I have to sell for $350, but this one was worth the financial commitment.
There is a cost to attend the event, but it's quite reasonable, and the fee will allow you to try a range of Highland Park expressions including the 15, the 18, the 1981, the Binny's 24, and the 30. The tutored tasting also includes appetizers to complement each expression.
Seating is limited and reservations are required.
Call 847.831.5400 or email: highlandpark@binnys.com.
$15 for Binny's Card Members; $25 for non-members.
