✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park's Saint Magnus Edition 2 is a tribute to the rich Norse heritage of the region and its patron saint, the 12th-century Earl Magnus Erlendsson. This special 12-year-old single malt is crafted using traditional floor-malted barley dried with local, heather-rich peat, which imparts a uniquely floral and aromatic smoke. Aged in hand-selected oak casks, it delivers a deeply complex profile characterized by notes of sweet heather honey, dried dark fruits, warm Christmas spices, and a lingering, gentle peat smoke that reflects the rugged maritime terroir of the far north of Scotland.
🍾 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.
