Highland Park 16 years old Between you and I By Bjorn Frantzen Single Orkney Malt Scotch Whisky 48%
Highland Park 16 Year Old “Between You and I” by Björn Frantzén is a limited and expressive single malt whisky from Orkney, created in collaboration with Swedish Michelin-starred chef Björn Frantzén. This special edition is more than just a whisky – it’s a sensory experience that invites personal reflection, conversation, and discovery. Bottled at 48% ABV and matured for 16 years in a combination of virgin Swedish oak, ex-bourbon casks, and sherry-seasoned European and American oak, the whisky offers a complex and balanced profile with a clear Highland Park signature.
Frantzén, known for his culinary philosophy where Nordic ingredients meet Japanese precision and French technique, has worked with Highland Park to create a whisky without predefined tasting notes. Instead, each bottle comes with a set of 16 cards that encourage you to explore and describe your own impressions – an invitation to feel, share, and connect. It’s a whisky that speaks to both the senses and the emotions, turning each dram into a personal journey.
The nose is warm and inviting with notes of vanilla, floral tones, fruit, and spiced oak. The Swedish oak adds a distinctive wood character not previously seen in Highland Park’s range. The palate is rounded and full-bodied, with layers of honey, dried fruit, toasted oak, and gentle peat smoke that adds depth without overpowering. The finish is long and smooth, with warming spices, malt, and a subtle maritime minerality that evokes Orkney’s rugged coastline.
The whisky is bottled without chill-filtration and with natural color, preserving its full expression and complexity. It’s crafted for slow enjoyment, ideally in good company, where each sip becomes part of a larger conversation. “Between You and I” is not just a whisky – it’s an experience that blends craftsmanship, flavor, and human connection.
