Expert Description

Highland Park 16 Years Old Between You and I By Bjorn Frantzen is a Single Orkney Malt Scotch Whisky matured in a combination of virgin Swedish oak, ex-bourbon casks and sherry-seasoned European and American oak, bottled at 48%.

The whisky is created in collaboration with Swedish Michelin-starred chef Bjorn Frantzen, known for uniting Nordic ingredients with Japanese precision and French technique.
