Highland Park Thorfinn
Highland Park was built by David Robertson all the way back in 1798. The distillery's relationship with blenders, Robertson & Baxter, saw it acquired by Highland Distillers in 1937, who were subsequently bought by Edrington in 1999, who run it today. The modern Highland Park single malt brand was first officially bottled in the 1970s, with the release of an 8 year old age statement, but distillery bottlings first appeared around the 1950s. The look of the brand has changed many times over the years, but its cult following and popularity has never diminished. It remains one of the most recognisable single malts in the world to this day.
Released in 2013 as part of The Warriors series, this is named after Thorfinn.
Thorfinn was a Viking chief named "The Mighty" who ruled over the Orkney islands. He saved the people from the reign of terror inflicted by his brother Einar. His remains are buried in St Magnus Cathedral on Orkney.
The liquid inside is made up of 60% first-fill casks.
