Note the bottle design, too. A single malt whisky, born in Scotland's northernmost distillery, is now available in limited quantities.
Highland Park, Scotland's northernmost single malt Scotch whisky distillery, will release its limited-edition "Highland Park Fire Edition" on Friday, March 17.
Following the "Valhalla Collection" launched in 2012 and the "Ice Edition" released in 2016, the "Fire Edition" is inspired by Surtr, the fire giant from Norse mythology. It is a limited release of 28,000 bottles worldwide.
For the first time in Highland Park's history, the whisky has been matured in port wine casks, resulting in an unprecedented flavor profile with notes of fruit and vanilla, a bittersweet hint of cinnamon, and dark chocolate.
The glass bottle itself is designed to evoke Muspelheim, the realm of fire inhabited by giants, and comes nestled in a black wooden cradle, making for a striking decorative piece.
Why not immerse yourself in the world of ancient mythology, both on your palate and to the eye?
