HIGHLAND PARK THE LIGHT 17 YEAR OLD

50% abv. Matured in sherry seasoned American oak casks, THE LIGHT is a distinctive and vibrant whisky with a delicious sweetness. This special release of 28,000 bottles shares the story of the noble Viking warriors who are our ancestors, of our contrasting island seasons and of the intense balance of our whisky. It is a celebration of spring and summer on Orkney; a time to emerge from our winter’s hibernation, renewed and refreshed with a spring in our step, ready to embrace the warm bright days of summer. Presented in a beautifully embossed green glass bottle, the serpent dragon design takes its inspiration from the great Norse sagas and embraces both the high sun of the summer solstice and the low sun of the winter solstice – the polar opposites of our island seasons – while the runic writing reflects the ancient carvings of our Viking ancestors which can still be seen today, here on Orkney.
