70 cl Bottle
Description
One of just 644 bottles, this limited-edition single cask is a real treat. It intensifies the already superb, regular 18-year-old Highland Park. Typically distinctive, the heather, soft lemon and peat smoke are immediately obvious. A touch of water brings a more tropical apricot and honeydew melon depth to the fruit flavours. Its wonderful texture will delight both newcomers to Orkney and seasoned fans alike.

About this spirit
Highland Park Distillery, Orkney
Highland Park, one of only 2 distilleries in the Orkney Isles, was founded in 1798 by Magnus Euson, and is the world's most northerly distillery. Until it was licensed in 1825 it's production was illicit and Euson was assisted in evading the excisemen by a kinsman who was a Kirk elder and hid the contraband under the pulpit. By the 1880s Highland Park had an established reputation and at one time both the King of Denmark and the Emperor of Russia declared it to be the finest whisky they had ever tasted.
