Highland Park Twisted Tattoo 16 Year Old is a bold limited edition release inspired by Viking mythology and modern tattoo artistry. Created in collaboration with Danish tattoo artist Colin Dale, this striking expression represents the mythical Midgard Serpent and showcases Highland Park’s signature balance of heather honey sweetness and aromatic Orkney peat smoke.
Matured in a combination of first fill Rioja wine seasoned casks and first fill bourbon casks, Twisted Tattoo delivers a richer, fruit forward profile layered with spice and subtle smoke. The dramatic black bottle and red serpent design make this release both a conversation piece and a collectible for serious Scotch enthusiasts.
