Whisky: A Kaleidoscopic Spectrum of Spirit
HIGHLAND PARK 12 YEAR OLD AND ABERLOUR 12 YEAR OLD
HIGHLAND PARK 12 YEAR OLD
Single malt.
Orkney’s Highland Park distillery is situated in the town of Kirkwall on the site of an illicit still thought to have been operated by Magnus Eunson, a smuggler, local butcher and former priest who was directly descended from Viking settlers. With that heritage, it’s fitting that today they frequently draw from Scandinavian mythology when it comes to naming their whiskies.
The distillery is known for its signature style that utilises Orcadian peat in the malting process, resulting in a fragrant, heathery spirit that is most often left matured in Sherry wood.
40% ABV / 70cl
ABERLOUR 12 YEAR OLD
Single malt.
Named after the small Speyside town in which it resides, Aberlour distillery has cultivated a dedicated following, particularly in France where it is frequently the top selling single malt. The spirit it produces ages extremely well in Sherry casks and has a distinctive note of blackcurrant.
Although it boasts an extensive core range, the expression it is perhaps best known for is the consistently excellent small batch A’Bunadh.
40% ABV / 70cl
