Wood-Encased Whiskeys

Highland Park Ice Edition Scotch Whiskey Pays Tribute to Its Viking Roots

The Highland Park Ice Edition Scotch Whiskey is a stunning bottle that focuses on the brand's Viking roots. With history that stretches that far back, it's only natural that a brand would want to focus on that angle of its existence. This particular iteration pays tribute to its Orkney Islands home. This is represented through the use of a blue tinted bespoke bottle featuring a Norse symbol which represents the creation of the world.

Encased in a wooden stand, the Highland Park Ice Edition Scotch Whiskey looks mountainous. A limited edition bottle design, less than 4000 will be put on shelves at the end of May. It would make a beautiful drink for those who love the brand or want to try something new.
