Description
For the first time, Highland Park have married whisky matured in oak casks seasoned with Spanish Rioja wine – 153 casks in total – with whisky matured in 70 first-fill bourbon casks
The result is this, Twisted Tattoo 16 Year Old, a rich and full-bodied single malt whisky with a distinctively different character.
Tattoos are a vital part of our cultural heritage today. They tell the world who we are, without saying a word.
In collaboration with Danish tattoo artist and modern day Viking Soul, Colin Dale, Highland Patk have created the bold design for this whisky, which celebrates the tattoo as a mark of both standing apart and being part of a tribe – just like Highland Park.
Colin’s intricate design is inspired by the free-flowing Nordic knotwork found on Viking wood carvings and reflects the Norse legend of the Midgard serpent, which grew so large it twisted round the Earth to grasp its tail in its mouth.
Distillery: Highland Park
Kirkwall, Scotland
Here at a beautifully remote distillery in Orkney, Highland Park distillery have been crafting award-winning whisky for over 220 years.
Because of the harsh climate this far north, the Orkneys’ windswept landscapes are treeless. Distillers say this terrain plays into Highland Park’s distinctively smoky, floral flavors, rich with the scent of local heather flower.
