This bottling of a 15-year-old Highland Park single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as the 3rd bottling in the Valhalla Collection and is dedicated to the goddess Freya. The wooden packaging was designed in the style of a Viking ship and the whisky was bottled in 19,000 bottles in 2014.
The Highland Park distillery is located on the Scottish island of Orkney. It is one of the oldest, still active whisky distilleries in Scotland. The official licence for whisky distillation was granted in 1826. The founder of the distillery is Mr. Magnus Euson, who was already busy building the distillery in 1798. The company has been based in the community of Krikwall since its foundation. Highland Park produces its single malt whisky from its own locally grown barley malt. The distillery blends the peat with locally grown heather before it is burnt to produce the Highland Park single malt.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
