HIGHLAND PARK - SINGLE MALT - OB - "FROM THE ISLAND OF ORKNEY" (FERRARETTO LABEL 1970S)

The Highland Park "From the Island of Orkney" releases imported by G.F. Ferraretto & C. in Milano are legendary artifacts of liquid history. During the 1970s, Italy was the global epicenter for single malt whisky appreciation, and importers like Ferraretto, Samaroli, and Pinerolo secured some of the finest liquid ever produced.

Rich, oily, and heavily coastal. Expect intense farmy characteristics, salt spray, dried black tea, herbal bitterness (reminiscent of Italian Amaro), and faint dried fruits from the old-style refill sherry casks used at the time.
