ThursdayHeather Smoke and Sherry Oak: Highland Park & Glenrothes
4 - 6pm
No tasting fee. No ticket needed, just walk-in!
Two distilleries from opposite ends of Scotland share an owner and almost nothing else. Highland Park, in Kirkwall, is the country's most northerly distillery, where some of the barley is still malted by hand and dried over peat cut from a windswept Orkney moor. That peat is full of heather roots, so the smoke comes out floral and honeyed instead of medicinal. Glenrothes works in the heart of Speyside with unpeated malt and sherry-seasoned oak, and its whiskies lean toward dried fruit and spice. Five bottles are open and you can taste any three. Choose wisely.
Highland Park 12 Year Old Isle of Orkney Single Malt Whisky - $49.99
Highland Park 15 Year Old "Viking Heart" Isle of Orkney Single Malt Scotch Whisky - $119.99
Highland Park 18 Year Old Isle of Orkney Single Malt Scotch Whisky - $159.99
Glenrothes 15 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky - $89.99
Glenrothes 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky - $199.99
Lineup is subject to change.
