“No ordinary single malt”: These are the words used by Edrington to describe its Highland Park single malt Scotch whisky.

A simple, powerful presentation quickly immerses visitors into the brand’s background and its ethos of resilience and honour, which, according to Edrington, has Highland Park as a “tribe apart” from other brands.

Nine Highland Park expressions, including several which are exclusive to travel retail, are highlighted.

Highland Park is one of six Edrington brands featured at the Expo, with the spotlight also falling on The Macallan, The Glenrothes, Brugal, Naked Malt and the Famous Grouse.

As reported, The Macallan single malt Scotch whisky and luxury British automotive manufacturer Bentley Motors revealed a powerful new partnership in August.

The collaboration, which is also highlighted in the Edrington Virtual Travel Retail Expo suite, is designed to build on the brands’ respective rich heritages to develop a range of distinctive collaborations.

The alliance will also further the partners’ collective vision of a more sustainable future. The partnership will focus initially on core areas, including the brands’ shared journey to carbon neutrality; innovative research into the sourcing of sustainable materials; and teamwork on finding and sharing sustainable, local suppliers.

The two brands, united by what they describe as “a dedication to mastery, craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation”, plan to share learnings from their respective industries, while pursuing “uncompromised excellence”.

Edrington’s strong CSR strategy and its efforts to support those in need, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis, are also detailed and an Edrington corporate presentation offers visitors an overview of its operation in travel retail across countries, segments and channels.

Virtual highlights:

  • Discover Edrington’s key brands and the stories behind them
  • Learn of Edrington’s strong CSR strategy and the importance of giving more.
