Hailing from the windswept Orkney Islands, Highland Park's Fire Edition is a legendary 15-year-old single malt that pays homage to Muspelheim, the glowing Norse realm of fire ruled by the fire giant Surtr. This special release represents a unique chapter in the distillery's history, being matured exclusively in 100% refill port casks. This maturation process imparts a natural, vibrant ruddy hue and weaves rich, fiery spices and dried dark fruits into Highland Park's signature aromatic peat smoke, which is derived from the island's ancient, heather-rich peat bogs.
