On the Circuit: Highland Park 40-Year at Double Crown

Last night Highland Park Distillery hosted a dinner at the new Avro|Ko Bowery outpost Double Crown to debut their new (old) 40-year.  We are scotch fans and it's hard to pass up the chance to sample some hooch that was distilled before our parents were even met.  Especially one that retails for $2000 a bottle.  Anyway, Public and DC chef Brad Farmerie prepared a dinner pairing the courses with a flight of Highland Park- from the 12-year to the 40-year.  The highlight was a roast half-duck which was paired with the 25-year.  Another highlight was being seated next to Adam Levy, editor of The Whisky Life magazine.  Gotta get me some of that life.  Behold the bottle after the jump and Adam, if you need a field reporter...
