The Highland Park 15 Earl Magnus Edition 1 pays homage to the craftsmen behind the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney, and honors the legacy of Earl Magnus, a figure embodying peace in contrast to his ambitious cousin, Haakon. Released in late November 2009, this whisky captures the essence of their story—one of good versus evil. Earl Magnus met a tragic end at the hands of his own brother, which adds a poignant backdrop to this expression.

This 15-year-old cask strength whisky has garnered acclaim, winning top honors in its category at the World Whisky Awards. With a limited release of 5,976 bottles, it is a true collector's item for enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet of heather honey, citrus fruits, and warm spices, intertwined with subtle smoky undertones.

• Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of caramel, spice, and a whisper of smoke that beckons for another sip.

Highland Park 15 Earl Magnus Edition 1 is not just a whisky; it is a narrative in a bottle, inviting you to experience the tale of its namesake with every sip. Rated 5 Stars and 90 Points by Whisky Fun, and 88+ on Whisky Base, it stands as a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Highland Park.
