Linn launches £25,000 turntable made out of whisky casks

Aside from enjoying a wee dram while listening to The White Album, we didn't think there was a better way to combine our love of whisky and high-end audio gear. Linn, on the other hand, decided to celebrate its 40th birthday by teaming up with fellow highland brand Highland Park to produce something really special. The pair are recreating Linn's flagship Sondek LP12 turntable, but on a wooden plinth crafted from some of the distiller's solid oak scotch whisky casks. Naturally, only 40 of the units will be produced, each one setting you back £25,000 ($40,000) -- but hey, at least you get a 40-year-old bottle of Highland Park (worth £900) thrown in for good measure.

Thor Single Malt Scotch Whisky Will Help You Get Hammered

Posted on by

When you line up those shot glasses, prepare to shout, “By the power of Thor!” Is that a Thor saying? I haven’t read the comic in years. Anyway, if you want to drink like a mighty God, there is only one beverage that will quench your thirst.

Thor Whisky
This Thor single malt whisky comes from Highland Park, based in the Orkney Islands. Clearly, they saw a void in the superhero booze market and rushed to fill it with the Valhalla Collection. Thor’s hammer is nicely embossed on the bottle, which is cradled in a carved wooden display case that looks like the bow of a Nordic ship.

A bottle of the limited-edition whisky will cost you $245(USD) if you have a void in your liquor cabinet that needs to be filled with a the nectar of the Gods.
