Highland Park has launched a 15-year-old whisky matured exclusively in refill Port wine casks that pays homage to a Viking tale about the end of the world.<\/p>\n

Highland Park Fire Edition<\/strong> completes a two-part series of special edition bottlings that celebrate myths and legends of the Viking age and follows the launch of Highland Park Ice Edition<\/a> in March this year.<\/p>\n

It is the first single malt whisky from Edrington-owned Highland Park completely matured in refill Port wine seasoned casks.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaturing our distinctive whisky in 100% refill Port wine seasoned casks is a first for Highland Park and the result is a vibrant 15-year-old single malt with an abv of 45.2%,\u201d said Jason R. Craig, brand director for Highland Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cFire Edition has a slight reddish hue, (which is its natural colour), intense aromas of ruby red fruits, light smoke and a long, lingering finish. However, it is still, unmistakably, Highland Park.\u201d<\/p>\n

The whisky is bottled in crimson red glass, representing the \u201cmolten world\u201d of the Fire Giants from Viking mythology, and also features a black wooden cradle and stopper.<\/p>\n

Legend has it that the evil Surtr led his fellow Fire Giants into an apocalyptic battle with the gods, burning everything in sight. The world perished in the blaze, but a new earth was recreated from the ashes.<\/p>\n

A total of 28,000 bottles of Highland Park Fire Edition will be released at the end of November and will roll out internationally throughout December and into 2017.<\/p>\n

The whisky will be available in more than 15 markets globally at an RRP of \u00a3190.<\/p>\n
