Highland Park 14 Year Loyalty Of The Wolf Island Malt [1000ML]

Description

What makes a Highland Park whisky worthy of the wolf’s legendary loyalty?

The Highland Park 14 Year Loyalty of the Wolf represents centuries of Orkney craftsmanship from Scotland’s northernmost distillery, established in 1798. This Viking-inspired expression showcases the distillery’s mastery of sherry-seasoned American oak maturation, creating a complex single malt that rivals premium Highland expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years Highland Single Malt and The Dalmore 21 Years Highland Single Malt. The unique Hobbister Moor peat imparts distinctive aromatic smokiness that sets Highland Park apart from other Scottish regions.
