I’ve loved Highland Park since I fell in love with whisky, even before their Valhalla series began, and I’m excited to try these five interesting whiskies, side-by-side #pswhisky

Good evening everyone and thank you for joining me for this tasting. Highland Park really is one of the stalwarts of Scotch whisky and I’m not just saying that because I work for Edrington #pswhisky
