Lot number: 071-3891

Winning bid: £170

The most northerly of Scottish whisky distilleries, Highland Park was founded in 1798 and is one of the most highly regarded single malts in the world, the great Michael Jackson calling it, "The greatest all-rounder in the world of whisky." and Paul Pacult awarded it, "The Best Spirit in the World." in 2005. The unique peat of Orkney gives the whisky a distinctive heathery sweetness.

The second release in the series, the former Earl was murdered by his treacherous cousin, Haakon. He was canonised 20 years after his death. Quite a few years later and Highland Park are releasing a range of whiskies in his honour. All for " a man of extraordinary distinction, tall, with a fine, intelligent look about him" (a description we feel could describe the SWA team too....!).
