The Highland Park 16yo Twisted Tattoo 46.7% 750ml is a unique and contemporary single malt whisky from the Highland Park distillery, situated in the rugged landscape of the Orkney Islands. This 16-year-old expression is crafted using an innovative maturation process that involves first-fill Rioja casks combined with refill casks, a pioneering move for Highland Park. The result is a whisky with a rich, distinct character offering generous layers of sweet vanilla, sun-ripened peaches, and summer berries, interwoven with the robust notes of full-bodied red wine and heather-rich peat smoke.
The distinctive name and design of this whisky draw inspiration from the Norse legend of the Midgard serpent. The packaging is a masterpiece created in collaboration with Danish tattoo artist Colin Dale, who melds both ancient and modern tattooing techniques to narrate stories on the skin.
Highland Park has been crafting award-winning whisky at their distillery in Kirkwall, Orkney since 1798. Their tradition of defying convention while respecting heritage, combined with the unique location in Orkney, culminates in the wild harmony of flavors found in this bold single malt.
