✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Highland Park, established in 1798 on the remote Orkney Islands of Scotland, is steeped in Norse history and legendary craftsmanship. The Earl Magnus Edition One 15 Year Old is a highly coveted limited-release single malt that pays homage to Earl Magnus Erlendsson, a beloved 12th-century Orkney Earl who was later canonized as a saint. This expression is crafted using Highland Park's signature hand-turned floor maltings and unique, heather-rich peat from the Hobbister Moor, which imparts a gentle, aromatic floral smoke rather than the medicinal peat of the Islay region. Aged for 15 years and bottled at a robust cask strength, this single malt captures the wild, wind-swept maritime climate of Orkney, offering a rich tapestry of sweet dried fruits, warm spices, and delicate peat smoke.
🍾 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.
