HIGHLAND PARK LAUNCHES NEW BOURBON AND RIOJA CASK MATURED 16 YEAR OLD EXPRESSION

Highland Park, has today announced the launch of a new 16 Year Old, single malt Scotch whisky expression.

Highland Park 16 Year Old – Twisted Tattoo (46.7% ABV) has been matured in first fill bourbon and Spanish rioja seasoned wine casks.

Highland Park 16 Year Old - Twisted Tattoo

This latest expression from the Orkney based distillery, is inspired by the islands Norse ancestry and the Viking legend of the Midgard Serpent, which grew so large it twisted around the earth to bite its own tail.

To bring this mythology to life on the bottle, Highland Park has partnered with renowned Danish tattoo artist Colin Dale, who specialises in the ancient art of dot-work tattooing – a freestyled, non-electric tattoo technique – to create Twisted Tattoo’s striking design.

Commenting on the launch, Chris Anderson, Head of Edrington brands at Edrington-Beam Suntory, said: “Highland Park is incredibly proud of its Orcadian routes, which is why so many of our whiskies celebrate our home - and Twisted Tattoo is no different. It’s innately Nordic and we want to pay homage to this through the launch of our latest whisky and partnership, which brings liquid and art together.”

Highland Park 16 Year Old – Twisted Tattoo, will be available later this month, exclusively from The Whisky Shop, for a RRP of £80.00.
