INTRODUCING HIGHLAND PARK ‘THE LIGHT’

‘a whisky for celebration’

Highland Park is proud to announce the global launch of their latest special edition called ‘THE LIGHT’. This distinctive and vibrant 17 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky has been exclusively matured in refill American oak casks for a light, bright natural colour which delivers sweet flavours of heather peat, nutmeg and vanilla.

Jason R. Craig, Brand Director, Highland Park, commented:“In both ‘THE LIGHT’ and ‘THE DARK’, we share the story of the noble Viking warriors who are our ancestors, of our contrasting island seasons and of the intense balance of our whisky. Our award-winning whiskies deliver flavours of smoky sweetness that’s the product of our climate and our craftsmanship –our own continuous cycle.”

Presented in a pale green bespoke glass;the decoration on the bottle and oak cradle of ‘THE LIGHT’ perfectly complements that of ‘THE DARK’ –the serpent dragon embossed on the front takes its inspiration from Viking stories. ‘THE DARK’& ‘THE LIGHT’are written in runic writing on the serpent dragon’s tail emboss itself and on the oak cradle -celebrating the islands’Viking ancestry. The back of the glass bottle has ‘Made with Pride on Orkney’embossed –a genuine heart-felt tribute to the men and women who create Highland Park single malt.

In ‘THE LIGHT’, we celebrate spring and summer –a time to emerge from our winter hibernation, ready to embrace the warm, bright days of summer. It’s a time to be with friends and family, a time for new places and new faces, for barbecues and fires on the beach, a time for celebrating life. –
