New dram from Highland Park

Orkney-based distillery Highland Park has released its new 50 Year Old single malt Scotch Whisky.

Presented in a hand-made wooden walnut box containing an embossed heavyweigh­t glass bottle of whisky featuring a design inspired by Orkney’s Norse heritage and a hand-crafted crystal decanter and leather-bound book telling its story, it has an RRP of £20,000.
