Description

A bottle of Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This was distilled in 1988, matured in a sherry butt and bottled at cask strength in 2001 by independent bottler Wilson & Morgan for the Barrel Selection. This was imported to Italy by Rossi & Rossi.

This is one of 551 bottles; it was bottled from cask number 10453.

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.
