Day 3 Of The 12 Days Of Christmas

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree..

In our case, we’ve switched the French hens out with something a little different. On the third day of Christmas, we think of the male figures in our lives — dads, brothers, significant others. Many of us start out thinking that buying for men will be easy, but we find out that it’s rarely the case. There are many gifts to choose from — everything from grooming essentials to gadgets. However, we decided on a gift that the guys can share with their friends and co-workers… and on a cold winter’s eve with the snow coming down and the fireplace lighted, your man will surely share this special gift with his favorite person — you. We’ve chosen Highland Park’s newest whisky.

 

A single malt for whisky and music lovers everywhere.

Appearance: Natural cask-derived color, clear and bright
Flavors: Vanilla, mango, pineapple, cedarwood
Taste: Lemon peel, vanilla pods, light smoke
Finish: Citrus, light smoke, creamy vanilla

Available from specialty spirits retailers and bars, and ipriced $100 – $110  for 750ml.

 

About Highland Park

Highland Park is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky from Orkney, a remote set of islands off the far north coast of Scotland. Established in 1798, the distillery combines the highest standards of craftsmanship with the pride and fierce independence of the early Viking settlers who made Orkney their home over 1,000 years ago to create an intensely balanced single malt Scotch whisky that stands apart. Highland Park’s range of single malt whiskys are consistently acclaimed by whisky lovers around the world, with the brand receiving the accolade of “Best Spirit in The World” from industry expert, Paul Pacult, on three separate occasions.
