HIGHLAND PARK - 25 ans - Bottled 2019 - 46%
Highland Park is the most northerly Single Malt distillery in Scotland, situated in Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands. It is geographically closer to Norway than it is to London. The distillery was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson, a butcher and church official by day, and a successful smuggler by night. Ironically, the distillery eventually ended up in the hands of the excise officer who arrested Eunson for smuggling. Highland Park is one of the few distilleries in Scotland to malt its own barley and its two wash stills and two spirit stills can produce as much as 2.5 million litres of spirit a year. Highland Park is owned by the Edrington Group, and is an ingredient of the Famous Grouse blend.
Highland Park 25-Year-Old 'Spring 2019 Release' was crafted from around 20 Sherry-seasoned European oak casks, ex-first-fill Bourbon casks and refill casks, selected by Master Whiskey Maker, Gordon Motion. These barrels were laid down before 1994.
