At the 26th of august 2017 Christer Lagestig at Gammalsbygården, Öland, hosted a tasting to be remembered, led by Magnus Fagerström, a well-known name in whisky business in Sweden.
Christer is a whisky lover with a special preference for Highland Park and this evening he picked up some special bottles from his collection that he offered to the tasting. How about this line-up?
HP 12yo OB SC Germany #5886- HP 14yo OB SC Sweden #2121
- HP 15yo OB Earl Magnus
- HP 15yo OB SC Sweden #6537
- HP 29yo OB SC Return of the Vikings #413
- HP 17yo OB Green Dumpy Bottle probably distilled in the 50’s
After this magical tasting surrounded by nice people it was “surprise day” and it was Magnus who presented the surprise. He had prepared another tasting that wasn´t a “piece of shit” either. Or what do you think about these?

- BenRiach, Sauternes Finish, Limited 1993 release.
- Glen Garioch, 15yo, Sherry Cask Matured.
- Glen Avon, 15yo, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, probably a Glenfarclas.

This was an evening to remember, when late summer Öland presented itself from its best side. Special thanks to Christer and Magnus who created this evening, a very special occasion for us whisky lovers.
