Highland Park 4 - Beyond the Heather - Fri 17th July

For our penultimate online whisky tasting before our Summer break, we are back up to the wonderful Orkney Mainland to visit that now sadly under appreciated yet legendary distillery HIGHLAND PARK with a host of excellent drams.

We have a fine selection of HP to try together on Zoom on Friday 17th July, or on playback after. To make this as accessible as possible for all budgets, we’ve split the tasting this time, so either you can get the main pack, or the old and rare one, of hopefully all together with a healthy discount.

To join either ping us through WhatsApp, where we have the excellent East Coast Whisky group chats, or email dram@eastcoastwhisky.com & we will give you the easy lowdown!
