Highland Park Leif Eriksson Limited Edition Scotch Whisky 700mL 40% ABV
Highland Park Leif Eriksson Limited Edition Scotch Whisky commemorates the life of the famous explorer. Leif Eriksson is thought to have been born in Iceland circa AD970. The courageous explorer set out from the Orkney Islands north of mainland Scotland at the dawn of the 11th century to make the perilous crossing of the North Atlantic. After he did so and established settlements in Labrador and Newfoundland, he earned the nickname ‘Leif the Lucky’. Feel the luck by having a taste of this exceptional whisky. Highland Park is Scotland’s northernmost whisky distillery, lying just to the North-east of fellow Orcadian, Scapa. Orkney is a rugged, beautiful island and the Highland Park distillery sits on a hillside near Kirkwall. Highland Park Leif Eriksson Limited Edition Scotch Whisky is an easily approachable style of whisky.
