It's no wonder Highland Park, a world-renowned Scottish distillery on the island of Orkney, asked MaeVona co-founder and jewelry designer Maeve Gillies to create a bottle for its most prized asset – a  50 year old single malt whisky.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_383" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><img src="http://www.maevona.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/highland_whisky_bottle_2.jpg" alt="Hand Crafted Silver Bottle " title="highland_whisky_bottle_2" width="560" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-383" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hand Crafted Silver Bottle </p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s no wonder Highland Park, a world-renowned Scottish distillery on the island of Orkney, asked MaeVona co-founder and jewelry designer Maeve Gillies to create a bottle for its most prized asset – a  50 year old single malt whisky.  To Highland Park, the ideal candidate needed to  be much more than simply a native of Scotland. They needed someone who could  create an exterior casing that would be just as extraordinary as the contents  held inside. After all, with production capped at 275 units, this extremely rare  liquid is as precious as a diamond itself.</p>
<div id="attachment_386" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><a href="http://www.maevona.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/highland_whisky_bottle_3.jpg"><img src="http://www.maevona.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/highland_whisky_bottle_3.jpg" alt="World Class 50 year Old Whisky" title="highland_whisky_bottle_3" width="560" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-386" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">World Class 50 year Old Whisky</p></div>
<p>Maeve  used her love of Nature and the island of Orkney itself as her inspiration. Each  glass bottle is wrapped in an intricate, undulating “net cage” of hand-crafted  sterling silver which is reminiscent of the wild elemental forces found on the  island. Its seas, island  life, wild elements, incredible natural light and the passage of time are  captured in the organic design. Each bottle is also inset with a piece of historic Orcadian sandstone, engraved with Highland Park&#8217;s logo.</p>
<p>The bottles retail for $17,400 and are available exclusively at Harrods in London during October 2010. It will then become available worldwide, through select luxury retailers and hotels, high-end bars and private members clubs. For more information, visit the links below.</p>
