Highland Park reveals Dragon Legend

Edrington Group has revealed the latest single malt from its Highland Park whisky brand; Dragon Legend.

Dragon Legend has an ABV of 43.1% and an RSP of £40. For the next six months it will only be available in UK supermarkets and will sit alongside the 12 Year Old Viking Honour. However, Highland Park is looking to roll this out into some of their other key European markets early 2018.

Jason R. Craig, brand director, Highland Park, comments: “Having recently re-packaged our existing 12 and 18 Year Old whiskies with striking Viking inspired iconography in April 2017, we were really keen to offer our consumers a new whisky to explore and enjoy.

“The result is Highland Park Dragon Legend which is a step up in smoke profile from our core 12 Year Old having used a higher percentage of malt dried with our local Orkney woodless peat. This new whisky is still very much recognisable as a member of the Highland Park family with its key characteristics - from the use of both European and American sherry seasoned oak casks - of vanilla, warm spices complementing the richer aromatic peat smoke."
