The genius Scots who, for centuries have made some of the world’s finest whiskey, have erected another suitable tribute to Magnus Erlendsson, the first Earl of Orkney. Situated in Orkney themselves, the distillers at the The Highland Park have made yet another masterful whiskey. This booze is bottled at cask strength, in this case a whopping 52.6 percent ABV (just as Magnus would have wanted it), but don’t fear that its potency will overtake the whiskey’s traditional notes of peat; also present are hints of lemon, ginger, and vanilla. Another unique aspect is a customized label depicting Earl Magnus in a stained glass window; the bottle is housed in a wooden gift box etched with Highland Park branding and the story of Earl Magnus. In this respect, the whiskey is a tribute not only to Magnus but to Orkney itself, and the Highland Park has done them both proud.
