Highland Park – 10 Year Old - Rebus 30 Rankin is a single malt whisky from Highland Park (Islands). Aged 10 years, bottled at 40% ABV, 70cl.

It is so far North it is almost in the Arctic circle. To give you an idea, it is on the same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska. The distillery has been distilling on the same site since 1798 where the founder, Magnus Eunson's, original illicit still was at High Park. They smoke their own barley from over 4,000 year old peat which has been cut from the Hobbister Moor only seven miles from the distillery. Released in June 2017, REBUS30 10 Year Old marks the 30th anniversary of the publication of the first 'Inspector Rebus' novel, Knots & Crosses. John Rebus, the creation of best-selling crime writer Ian Rankin, is now one of the most iconic figures of modern crime fiction.
