The Peat is Different Here

Rob and Houston crack open a bottle that's been sitting on the shelf way too long. Highland Park 12 Viking Honour. From Orkney, a tiny island ten miles off the northern tip of Scotland where the wind blows so hard you can tell what religion a guy is by his travel pants.

The whole thing was started by a guy named Magnus, a church officer who hid barrels under the pulpit and faked a smallpox outbreak to keep customs away. A man of God doing the Lord's work.

Here's the thing about this whisky though. The peat is unlike anything else out there, and it comes down to one simple fact about the island itself. Something most people never think about. Tune in to find out why it matters.
