Highland Park 17 Years Old - The Light & The Dark (2x70cl)

Two bottlings from Highland Park, Both aged for 17 years and one of only 28,000 bottles produced. Light and dark are concepts that exist in opposition, yet together create a perfect balance. One cannot exist without the other; as one appears the other disappears; together they create something greater than themselves- in nature, a perfect, continuous cycle.

The Light - In Orkney they like to celebrate spring and summer, a time to emerge from the winter's hibernation, renewed and refreshed with a spring in their step. The whisky is presented in a beautifully embossed green glass bottle with a serpent dragon design which takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of the summer solstice and the low sun of the winter solstice - the opposites of the islands seasons - while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors.

The Dark - Autumn and winter in Orkney is a time to escape from the wild weather outside and gather together with friends and family, sharing long nights of conversation and laughter around the table, around the fire. The whisky is presented in a beautifully black glass bottle with a serpent dragon design which takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of the summer solstice and the low sun of the winter solstice - the opposites of the islands seasons - while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors.
