✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the wind-swept Orkney Islands at the legendary Highland Park distillery, this exceptional 16-year-old single malt is a bespoke collaboration with the world-renowned Swedish chef Björn Frantzén. Highland Park, established in 1798 by Magnus Eunson—a direct descendant of Viking settlers—is famous for its deeply rooted Norse heritage and unique island terroir. The whisky's character is shaped by the distillery's hand-turned floor maltings and the use of aromatic, woodless peat cut from the nearby Hobbister Moor, which infuses the spirit with a distinct heather-honey sweetness and a whisper of gentle peat smoke. Aged for 16 years in sherry-seasoned oak casks, this expression, titled 'Between You And I,' represents a harmonious marriage of culinary artistry and traditional distilling, delivering complex layers of dried fruit, warm spices, and delicate maritime smoke.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Highland Park klamrer sig til det forblæste Orkney ud for Skotlands nordlige kyst. Destilleriet blev grundlagt i 1798 af den illegale destillatør Magnus Eunson, inden det opnåede officiel licens i 1826. I dag ejes det af Edrington og ledes af Master Whisky Maker Marc Watson, og Highland Park er et af de få tilbageværende skotske destillerier, der stadig anvender traditionel gulvmaltning til en del af deres byg. Det lokale terroir er uløseligt forbundet med øens barske natur: Det træfattige landskab giver en lyngrig tørv, høstet på det nærliggende Hobbister Moor, som tilfører en aromatisk, floral røg – markant forskellig fra Islays medicinske iodpræg. Destillationen foregår på kobber pot stills, efterfulgt af en tålmodig modning på overvejende sherrykrydrede europæiske og amerikanske egetræsfade i maritime dunnage-lagre. Blandt destilleriets berømte referenceaftapninger findes de klassiske 12-, 18- og 21-års udgaver samt sjældne, ultra-modnede udgivelser som Orcadian Vintage Series og de skelsættende 40- og 50-årige single malts.
