Description
Highland Park was built by David Robertson all the way back in 1798.
The distillery's relationship with blenders, Robertson & Baxter, saw it acquired by Highland Distillers in 1937, who were subsequently bought by Edrington in 1999, who run it today.
The modern Highland Park single malt brand was first officially bottled in the 1970s, with the release of an 8 year old age statement, but distillery bottlings first appeared around the 1950s.
The look of the brand has changed many times over the years, but its cult following and popularity has never diminished. It remains one of the most recognisable single malts in the world to this day.
Named after the rule of Orkney in the 1100’s, Earl Magnus is the first edition of the Inga Saga trilogy; joined by the Saint Magnus and Earl Haakon. A 15 year old, cask strength release, this quickly become a desirable Highland Park.
This was bottled in 2009, with the whisky having been distilled in 1994 and earlier.
Only 5,976 of the Earl Magnus were created.
Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
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.
