Highland Park Valkyrie

The first in a new series of Viking Legend releases from the Orkney distillery, this Highland Park single malt is matured in a combination of first-fill American oak sherry, Bourbon and Spanish oak sherry casks as well as a selection of refill casks. Presented in packaging created by Danish designer Jim Lyngvild, with inspiration drawn from the ancient Hammer Stone of Gotland and a Viking pendant from Upland, Sweden.

An intense, sharp tang of sweet green apples opens the nose before ripening lemon notes. The creamy vanilla palate brings oriental spices, sweet preserved ginger, dark chocolate and hints of liquorice. The long, lingering finish has waves of aromatic smoke and richly ripened fruit.

Macallan Masters of Photography: Steven Klein Edition

The 6th edition in the series, this Speyside single malt celebrates the work of Steven Klein in a limited edition of only 1,000 bottles. An awe-inspiring whisky, each component of Klein’s art is reflected in the master whisky maker’s vision, creating a very specific and unusual whisky that mirrors the art itself.

Presented in a black leather case with a signed Steven Klein print, a distinctive black horse’s head bottle stopper and a range of glassware including a dropper, an aroma still, an infuser, a cocktail class, a highball glass and a tumbler, all designed by Klein.

According to Charlie MacLean, “The whisky itself is superb! Bob Dalgarno, Macallan’s ‘Master Whisky Maker’ has excelled himself. My first – and probably, only! – 9 out of 10 this year… 10/10 is available only in Heaven!”
