Highland Park 18 Years Old
Earl Haakon Edition 354.9% vol700ml
About this bottle
This 3rd bottling from the series, released in July 2011, marks Earl Haakon, a deceitful and villainous murderer, whom incidentally ordered the death of Magnus in callous circumstances. In reflection to the darker nature of this edition, the bottle is made entirely from black glass and the box from black wood. This 18 year old was created using casks distilled in 1992, bottled at a natural strength in 2011 and is one of just 3,300, completing an astounding series.

The Macallan might be the jewel in the crown of Edrington, but a close second is Highland Park, especially after the brand investment, it has received in recent times. Established in 1798 by David Robertson on the outskirts on Kirkwall on Orkney, history suggests the site was used for illicit distillery way before this official date. In a landscape shaped by nature, ravaged by Vikings and the tides of war, Highland Park manages to bring everything together. A historical whisky that is universally appreciated, offering a little bit of something and famously called an ‘all rounder’, from locally sourced peat to a welcoming rugged characteristic. Highland Park doesn’t need the branding to stand out from the crowd. An increasingly varied core range can seem bewildering to someone new, so start with the 18 year old and being your voyage.
