Illuminating and joyous Viking Scotch.

North from the northernmost part of the Scottish mainland, there’s an island among the seventy, where a son of the Vikings established his own illegal Whisky production more than two centuries ago. Today, on the very site where Magnus Euson built his contraband realm, stands the Highland Park distillery, specialized in turning ancient tales into opulent Whiskies. A group of four craftsmen perfected their art in the wilderness of the North and, among many others, created a light golden Spirit to ward off darkness.

The Light, a special expression of only 28 thousand bottles, comes after its rayless counterpart, The Dark. The green bottle contains Scotch from refill American oak barrels and celebrates spring, summer, and rebirth with its lighter and sweeter character. There’s no darkness without the light and this dram shall keep gloom at bay.

Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
