Highland Park 16 Year Old Wings Of The Eagle Scotch Whisky

Detailed Description

One of three whiskies originally released for the Travel Retail market by Highland Park in 2018, Wings of the Eagle is a 16 year old single malt which has been drawn from sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks. The distillers haven’t specified which type of eagle it was named after, so we’ll pick our favourite (long-crested eagle) and imagine that’s the one.

Distillery Information

Highland Park, one of only two distilleries in the Orkney Isles, is the world’s most northerly whisky distillery. It was founded in 1798 by Magnus Euson. Until it was licensed in 1825 its production was illicit and Euson was assisted in evading the excisemen by a kinsman who was a Kirk elder and hid the contraband under the pulpit. By the 1880s Highland Park had an established reputation and at one time both the King of Denmark and the Emperor of Russia declared it to be the finest whisky they had ever tasted.
