TRUMAN & ORANGE, distributors of award winning Scottish whisky brand Highland Park, has announced the collaboration between the Orkney-based Highland Park whisky distillery and acclaimed British actor and fashion icon, Gwendoline Christie, creating a short film; Orkney Stories, to celebrate 225 years of whisky craft.
To mark nearly a quarter of a millennia of whisky-making, Highland Park invited creative, Gwendoline Christie, to explore the extraordinary nature of the islands and the brand’s legacy in its island home. Christie is renowned for challenging norms through her work as an actor and model, a synergy shared with award-winning single malt Highland Park, an outlier in the whisky world due to its location and distinctive flavour.
Christie embraces some of the historical iconic landmarks of the islands as well as being taken behind the scenes at the 225-year-old Highland Park distillery, discovering what makes the whisky so distinctive, including the distillery’s traditional floor maltings, one of only a handful left in Scotland.
“We are really proud to launch the Orkney Stories to the South African market,” said Rowan Leibbrandt from Truman & Orange. “The collaboration truly illustrates the bond between the Orkney islands and the uniqueness of Highland Park whisky.”
Orkney Stories is live to watch on Highland Park’s social media platforms, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and website.
