✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Highland Park, located on the windswept Orkney Islands of Scotland, pays homage to its Norse heritage with the Warrior Series. Named after Earl Ragnvald, a legendary Viking pioneer famous for his epic voyages, this exceptional single malt represents the pinnacle of the collection. Crafted using traditional floor maltings and the distillery's unique, heather-rich peat from Hobbister Moor, it is matured predominantly in the finest European oak sherry-seasoned casks. This intense maturation imparts a deep bronze hue and a complex profile of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, warm oriental spices, and a whisper of sweet, aromatic peat smoke that defines the classic Orkney style.
🍾 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.
