A bottle of Highland Park The Light, inspired by the changing seasons on the island on Orkney, this release follows The Dark from 2017. This 17 Year Old expression was matured in refill American oak casks and bottled at cask strength. The bottle is decorated with a serpent dragon and runes from Norse mythology.
This is one of 28000 bottles.
The history of Highland Park distillery is shrouded in mystery, with even the identity of its founder being disputed. It was built on the remote island of Orkney in 1798, either by farmer David Robertson, or priest turned whisky smuggler Magnus Eunson. The first single malts were released in the 1970s, and the distillery has become known for its use of Orcadian peat to dry the barley (lighter than mainland or Islay peat), and sherry casks for maturation. Recent years have seen Highland Park pay homage to its island heritage, with releases named after local landmarks and Norse gods.
