isnt Â£160 almost double the price of the Earl Magnus and Saint Magnus when they were released, although tis is a more limited release

yeh the Earl Magnus was Â£85 and the Saint Magnus wasnt much more. Looks like the Earl Haakon is priced for the collectors and not the drinkers, damn collectors Evil or Very Mad

I think the whisky companies know there market and HP knew that they could easily sell 3300 bottles of a special release Highland Park for this price. Unfortunately it shows us what price we should expect future HP special releases to be Sad
