The Highland Park Earl Magnus is a 15-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Highland Park distillery, located on the Orkney archipelago in Scotland. Distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2009, this whisky is the first edition of the limited Magnus series, which pays tribute to Earl Magnus, a peaceful Orcadian who lived in the 1100s and was known for spreading Christianity. This release commemorates the skilled craftsmen who built the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Highland Park distillery is famous for its lightly smoky character, derived from its own peated floor-malting, which makes up 20% of the barley used for distillation. This cask strength whisky boasts an ABV of 52.6% and won the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards upon release. Only 5,976 bottles of this limited edition were produced, and it comes in a distinctive wooden presentation box. Established in the 18th century, Highland Park has a rich history rooted in either David Robertson or Magnus Eunson, a notorious smuggler and churchman. Since 1999, the distillery has been owned by the Edrington Group and continues to produce high-quality whisky that is highly regarded by enthusiasts globally.
