This Highland Park was released in late November 2009 and is the 1st edition of a series of bottles which were released to celebrate the craftsmen who built the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney and as a tribute to Earl Magnus himself. The peace loving Magnus was unlike his cousin Haakon who was envious and ambitious, striving for self-glory and their story captures the struggle of good versus evil. Magnus eventually perished at the hands of his brother, who ordered his death.
Earl Magnus is a 15 year old cask strength whisky, and which was awarded the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards. 5976 bottles were released.
