Highland Park 40 Year Old
(0.75l, 48.30%)
Rare and complex Scotch luxury
At the edge of the world, hours North of the center of the Scotch world, there’s a distillery battered by every possible element, including dragons (allegedly). It was established by a son of Vikings, an outlaw named Magnus Euson. More than two centuries of skills and stories are bottled in lavish and utterly badass expressions that worship the deities of Asgard. Four craftsmen continue the work of the wild bootlegger and make sure the gods are happy and the amber Spirit perfect.
Behold this sumptuous bottle (created by Stolze Flaconnage) with a silver amulet and a lavish box finished by Mount Gabriel: it contains a precious and extravagant potion. Released in 2008, Highland Park 40 Year Old comes from a ridiculously small batch of only ten casks. This piece of art is a pinnacle of Whisky-making and skills. Rich and balanced, aromatic and smoky, with a sweet twist, this opulence is not something one stumbles upon – it’s destiny.
