✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Highland Park, established in 1798 on the windswept Orkney Islands, is one of Scotland's most remote and historic distilleries. The 'Triskelion' is a unique single malt born from the collaboration of three legendary Highland Park Whisky Makers: Gordon Motion, Max McFarlane, and John Ramsay. Inspired by the ancient Norse symbol of three conjoined spirals representing mind, body, and spirit, this expression brings together three distinct cask types: first-fill sherry-seasoned Spanish oak casks, first-fill sherry-seasoned American oak casks, and ex-bourbon casks. The Orkney terroir plays a vital role, utilizing local, woodless peat rich in heather that imparts a sweet, aromatic peat smoke. This slow-matured malt offers a complex tapestry of rich fruit, warm spices, and sweet smoke, deeply rooted in Viking heritage and island folklore.
🍾 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.
