HIGHLAND PARK (1795

Kirkwall, Orkney. Licentiehouder: James Grant & Co, Ltd. Eigendom van The Highland Distilleries Co. Pic.
Aan het eind van de 18e eeuw was het Orcadian distillateurs niet toegestaan om hun whisky te verkopen buiten de eilanden, maar smokkelpraktijken zorgden ervoor dat de whisky werd verkocht tot in de Lowlands.
In 1805 arriveerden de ambtenaren van de accijnzen op Orkney en de burgemeester van Kirkwall, ook eigenaar van een distilleerderij, Thomas Traill speelde op zeker en vroeg en kreeg een licentie om een brouwerij en distilleerderij te beginnen in de Millstreet te Kirkwall. Hij werkte samen met Magnus Eunson die ook een distilleerderij bezat.
Het is waarschijnlijk dat Highland Park op de plaats staat van de distilleerderij van Traill en Eunson.
In 1825 begon Robert Borwick Highland Park, de gebouwen waren het eigendom van een ambtenaar van accinzen, John Robertson.
Reden voor de vestiging van de distilleerderij hier, was de aanwezigheid van de waterbron te Cattie Maggie.
Highland Park bleef vijf en dertig in het bezit van de familie Borwick.
Toen James Borwick Highland Park erfde in 1869 vond hij het beter de distilleerderij te verkopen, vanwege zijn ambt als dominee.
In 1888 werd James Grant, wiens vader directeur was geweest van The Glenlivet, manager van Highland Park en in 1895 eigenaar.
De familie Grant bleef eigenaar van Highland Park tot 1937 toen Highland Bis^ tillers de distilleerderij overnam.
Highland Park heeft vier met stoom verhitte ketels en 20 % van de gemoute gerst komt van eigen moutvloeren.
Het water komt van Cattie Maggie's Spring.
De Mash tun is 11.4 ton.
De twaalf Wash backs zijn elk 29.000 liter.
De twee Wash stills hebben elk een inhoud van 20.000 liter, de twee Spirit stills elk 18.000 liter en worden indirect verhit met stoom.
De turf wordt gestoken te Hobbister Moor.
De mout, met 20 ppm phenol, is zwaar turfgerookt en wordt vervolgens gemengd met malt gedroogd boven niet geturfrookte malt, die wordt aangevoerd vanaf het vaste land.
De distilleerderij kat is (1998) Barley.
Tot 1996 had Highland Park twee huis katten, de tweede werd Malt genoemd.

Voorjaar 1999 kregen de Edrington Group en Highland Distillers verschil van mening over het niet of vel aanhouden van de beursnotering.
September 1999 wordt bekend dat Edrington en William Grant & Sons samen Highland Distillers overnemen.
De naam van de nieuwe onderneming luidt: The 1887 Company, wat slaat op het stichtingsjaar van Highland Distillers.
Edrington verkrijgt 70 %-, William Grant & Sons 30 % van de aandelen/
Augustus 2003.
Er is een kat aankomen lopen en die ging niet meer weg. Highland Park is de enige distil-leerderij met nu drie katten: Barley, Malt en Phenols.

Duncan Taylor & Co, Huntly, Aberdeen.
In 1933 begon Abe Rosenberg, samen met twee broers een drankengroothandel in Syosset te New York.
De Star Liqueor Company verkocht de merken Duncan Taylor, Hartley Parkers en McColls in de staten New York, Connecticut en Miami.
Na de tweede wereldoorlog werd Abe Rosenberg de alleen importeur van J & B blended whisky.
In 1964 begon Abe Rosenberg te investeren in vaten Schotse Single Malt Whisky, en lette bij aankoop in het bijzonder op de soort- en kwaliteit van het hout van de vaten.
De whiskies van Islay hadden zijn bijzondere yoorkeur.
In 1994, op 85 jarige leeftijd overleed Abe Rosenberg, en het beheer van zijn omvangrijke erfenis kwam in handen van een liefdadigheidsinstelling, die zijn naam droeg.
Om de erfenis ten gelde te maken zochten de beheerders contact in Schotland en kwamen uiteindelijk in contact met Euan Shand.
Euan Shand, zoon van een vroegere manager van Glendronach, en opgegroeid op de distilleer-derij, ging na zijn opleiding werken bij Allied Distillers te Glasgow, en was ook nog kort tijdelijk manager van Ardmore.
Na een korte onderbreking administrateur - boekhouder startte hij de Bennachie Scotch Whisky Co.
In 1997 kocht Euan Shand de merken Glendarroch en Whisky Galore.
Euan Shand werd koper de whiskyvoorraad en Duncan Taylor & Co.
Deze voorraad bestaat uit ongeveer 4000 vaten whisky, deels inmiddels heel oud en bijzonder.
Macallen, Bowmore, Glen Grant en St. Magdalene, Laphroaig en Bunnahabhain uit 1966, gelagerd in Cognac en Sherryvaten.

In a culture whose traditions have been shaped by long nights gathered round the flickering
flames whisky and the embroidered tale go naturally hand in hand

None more so than Highland Park 25 Year Old whose deep golden draught will awaken the
fire and the poetry in you

The Highland Park archive is home to many venerable bottles; one in particular,
dating from around 1870, fits perfectly as an inspiration for celebrating the life
the life of Saint Magnus. We worked with Stölzle Flaconnage, Highland Park's
specialist glassware supplier, to ignore 150 years of technological advances in
order to create a bottle complete with flaws and defects consistent with those
of the original.

In 1870 the bottle would have been hand - gathered, mouth - blown into a woo-
den mould and kept wet to prevent combustion. The raw materials would have
been sand and limestone along with naturally occurring sodium sulphate. Con-
taminants broadly determined the colour of the glass and little effort would have
been made to control capacity or functionality so long as it did not break.

This bottle matches the original in almost all regards, other than that it is made
in a factory, does'n leak and conforms to all applicable legislation. The modern
moulds echo the flaws in the hand - made one from two centuries ago; advanced
techniques were used to generate bubbles and colour consistency in the glass.
The artisans of 1870 would have be most impressed with our efforts made in
search of imperfection.

The image of saint magnus on the original label of the 1870 archive bottle was
inspired by an ancient stained glass window. The impact of the label is shown
to maximum effect by the development of a simple, open fronted, etched wooden
box.

Highland Park Saint Magnus Edition Two forms part of a series of three. It is a
perfectly - balanced, natural strength botling of hand - selected casks of 12
year old single malt; to appreciate it fully, take your time and add a little fresh
distilled water - a couple of drops at a time. This will release the subtle aromas
and reveal the complexity of a single malt that has been made wihin a mile of
St. Magnus Cathedral since 1798.

Whisky has been made in the traditional manner at Highland Park for more than
210 years. Released in 2010 this bottling is a tribute to the skilled and dedicated
craftsmen who built St. Magnus Cathedral.

Highland Park takes its name from the High Park area on the outskirts of
Kirkwall Orkney, where in 1798 Magnus Eunson began distilling illegal
whisky. A local smuggler, Magnus would hide this forbidden spirit under
the pulpit of the church.

At Highland Park we insist on an uncompromising approach to whisky -
making. We 'r one of only a handful of distilleries that slowly malts its bar-
ley on the stone floor, physically turning it by hand for a more balanced
flavor. Next, we smoke it over local aromatic peat, hand - cut from
Hobbister Moor to bring a unique fragrant heather character to the whisky.
Then it's placed into oak casks - not just your usual bourbon casks though
sherry oak casks from Spain, that cost ten times as much, but bring a
priceless natural colour and flavor to our whisky. Then comes the hardest
part leaving it to quietly mature in the consistently cool Orcadian air.

And even when it's ready, we're not. We have chosen and combined our
best casks from 1994, then we have left them to settle and harmonise,
for just that little bit longer to deliver our complex whisky. The result is a
delicious single malt with caramel and almond notes teasing sweetness
with hints of cinnamon and aromatic peat flavours delivering a warming
smokey finish. This special Vintage is the kinf of Dram you long for when
you've worked as hard as us.

Enjoy the perfect glass of Highland Park:

First, hold your glass to the light to enjoy the dark Amber hue, then tilt
and rotate it to see the beads of whisky appear on the inside of the glass.
The smaller they are the higher the alcohol strength, and the slower they
fall, the better the spirit quality. Next: add a drop of water and take three
long sniffs. The first just gets your nose used to the alcohol, but in the se-
cond , you'il discover caramel and almond sweetness, and in the third
fruit - maybe ripening figs or cherries. Now taste the whisky by chewing
it in your mouth for 4 or 5 seconds then swallow. The top of your tongue
will start to tingle, and after a few seconds your mouth will go dry, leaving
a warming smokey feeling and a flavor that keeps on going.

HIGHLAND PARK SAINT MAGNUS OF ORKNEY
Saint Magnus is one of six canonized Norsemen born in the 11th and 12th centuries when the Orkney Islands belonged to Norway. Among them were warriors and scholars: Saint Magnus was in between these two extremes. He is decribed in
Orkneyinga Saga as 'a man of extraordinary distinction, tall with a fine, intelligent
look about him. He was a man of strict virtue, successful in war, wise, eloquent,
generous and magnanimous, open - handed with money and sound with advice,
and altogether the most populair of men'.

Born in 1075 and named Magnus Erlendsson, he demonstrated his saintly virtues
at the age of 18. King Magnus Barelegs took him on an expedition to the Hebrides
and beyond. Approaching Wales they encountered the fleet of Hugh the Stout and
Hugh the proud, sons of the King of Ireland, in the Menai Strait; both parties pre-
pared for battle with the exception of Saint Magnus who refused to fight as he had
no quarrel with anyone there. He stated 'God will shield me' and although he did't
take cover, he was't wounded having chanted psalms throughout the fighting.

Of course Saint magnus was not always so meek and mild; as a ruler of Orkney
in troubled times it would have been impossible for him to survive, without occa-
sional severity. However in comparison to his contemporaries, Sain Magnus was
a man of peace, contemplation and scholarly learning; spiritual intensity is more
a feature of Magnus' Saga than violence and cruelty. It is a life story of Christian
devotion and forgiveness, qualities that are not usually associated with the Vikings,
and includes the healing of the sick, crippled, blind and insane. Saint Magnus was
murdered by his treacherous cousin Haakon and was canonized only 20 years
later.

The influence of Saint Magnus spread far and wide; more than 20 churches have
been dedicated to him and he was the inspiration for the novel Magnus by George
Mackay Brown and, in turn The Martyrdom of St. Magnus by Sir Peter Maxwell
Davies. The forname became populair in Orkney, notably in the case of Magnus
Eunson, a man forever associated with the founding of Highland Park distillery
in 1798.
