✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Highland Park, established in 1798 by the legendary smuggler and beadle Magnus Eunson, is situated on the windswept Orkney Islands, where the harsh northern elements shape every drop. This 15-Year-Old single malt showcases the distillery's signature harmony of sweet peat and rich fruit. Unlike mainland peat, Orkney peat is composed almost entirely of decomposed heather, imparting a gentle, floral smokiness rather than medicinal iodine notes. The spirit is matured predominantly in hand-selected sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, resulting in a deeply complex profile with notes of warm spices, sun-ripened citrus, and wild heather honey, wrapped in a whisper of aromatic peat smoke.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Highland Park blev grundlagt i 1798 i Kirkwall på det afsidesliggende Orkney-øhav og er et af Skotlands mest traditionsrige og nordligst beliggende single malt-destillerier. Destilleriet, som i dag er ejet af Edrington Group, værner kompromisløst om det klassiske whiskyhåndværk; her praktiserer man fortsat traditionel gulvmaltning med håndkraft og høster tæt, lyngmættet tørv fra den nærliggende Hobbister Moor. Modningen foregår primært på udsøgte sherrytilsmagte egetræsfade i Orkneys kølige, vindblæste kystklima. Dette enestående samspil mellem terroir og håndværk skaber Highland Parks verdensberømte signaturstil, som udmærker sig ved en elegant aromatisk tørverøg, en cremet sødme af lynghonning og dybe, komplekse krydderitoner.
