✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, this extraordinary single malt represents a marriage of Highland Park's legendary distillery character and the curation of independent bottler Càrn Mòr under their prestigious 'Celebration of the Cask Black Gold' series. Highland Park, founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson—a direct descendant of Viking settlers—is renowned for using peat cut from the nearby Hobbister Moor. This unique peat, rich in heather and free of wood, imparts a distinctively sweet, aromatic floral smoke. The 'Black Gold' designation highlights the selection of an exceptionally dark, active sherry cask for maturation, resulting in a deeply complex spirit where the distillery's signature heather honey and gentle maritime smoke fuse beautifully with decadent notes of dried dark fruits, espresso, and warming spices.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Highland Park blev grundlagt i 1798 i Kirkwall på det afsidesliggende Orkney-øhav og er et af Skotlands mest traditionsrige og nordligst beliggende single malt-destillerier. Destilleriet, som i dag er ejet af Edrington Group, værner kompromisløst om det klassiske whiskyhåndværk; her praktiserer man fortsat traditionel gulvmaltning med håndkraft og høster tæt, lyngmættet tørv fra den nærliggende Hobbister Moor. Modningen foregår primært på udsøgte sherrytilsmagte egetræsfade i Orkneys kølige, vindblæste kystklima. Dette enestående samspil mellem terroir og håndværk skaber Highland Parks verdensberømte signaturstil, som udmærker sig ved en elegant aromatisk tørverøg, en cremet sødme af lynghonning og dybe, komplekse krydderitoner.
