HIGHLAND PARK TRISKELION 45,1%

Highland Park Triskelion 45.1% stands as a remarkable expression in the world of fine spirits, offering whisky enthusiasts a unique and sophisticated tasting experience. This expression is not just a testament to the storied tradition of Highland Park, but it is a culmination of mastery from its trio of legendary whisky creators.

Highland Park, itself, is a storied distillery located in the Orkney Islands, an archipelago in the northern reaches of Scotland. Renowned for its commitment to traditional distilling methods, including floor malting and the use of peat cut from the Hobbister Moor, the distillery crafts whiskies that are distinctive and characteristically complex. This region, although officially recognized as part of the Highland region, carries its unique insular attributes, further enriching the whisky’s profile with nuances from the maritime climate.

The Triskelion, as crafted by Highland Park, is particularly special due to the collaboration of three of the distillery's most celebrated whisky makers - Gordon Motion, Max McFarlane, and John Ramsay. Their combined expertise, heritage, and distinct approach to whisky making are what brought this exceptional single malt to life. Each contributor brought their own unique approach to selecting the casks for maturation, ensuring that the Triskelion is not only balanced but also complex and rich in flavour.

Matured in a carefully chosen combination of first-fill sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, first-fill sherry seasoned American oak casks, and first-fill bourbon casks, the Triskelion is rendered with layers of sweetness woven with spice and light peat smoke. The name 'Triskelion' itself is deeply symbolic, relating to the ancient symbol consisting of three interlocked spirals; here it signifies the collaboration of the three master whisky makers, each spiraling their knowledge and craft into one unified expression.

The bottling at 45.1% ABV ensures that the character of the whisky is maintained, delivering a robust yet smooth palate experience. The choice of this specific alcohol content brings out the optimal flavor balance, enabling the whisky’s intricate flavor profile to unfold beautifully.

This whisky is presented in a traditional 70 cl bottle, aligned with the classic presentation style of Highland Park. Each sip of Triskelion reflects Highland Park’s signature style but is marked distinctively by the inspirations and craftsmanship of the trio of its creators.

On the nose, Triskelion offers rich aromas of ripe berries, nutmeg, and hints of baking spices alongside the deep, underlying peat smoke for which Highland Park is famous. The palate echoes these complex aromatic characteristics, complemented by dried fruits, cinnamon, and a whisper of toasted oak. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering spice that invites another sip.

The Highland Park Triskelion is indeed a collector's item and a delight for those who appreciate intricately layered whiskies. It serves as a testament to the rich history and the continuous innovation that defines Highland Park, making it a must-have for both aficionados and collectors alike.

Collectors and enthusiasts seeking to experience the pinnacle of craftsmanship in Scotch whisky would find the Highland Park Triskelion an exemplary choice. Its official bottling status confirms that this product comes directly from the distillery, maintaining the highest quality and authenticity anticipated from the renowned Highland Park brand.

The unveiling of Triskelion by Highland Park not only adds a prestigious chapter to the distillery's glorious legacy but also strengthens the bond amongst whisky lovers globally, who cherish every drop of this meticulously crafted spirit.
