✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park is one of Scotland's most remote and historic distilleries, founded in 1798 by the legendary smuggler Magnus Eunson. This 21-Year-Old Single Malt represents the pinnacle of Orcadian craftsmanship, shaped by the island's unique climate and terroir. Highland Park's signature character comes from the hand-cut, heather-rich peat of Hobbister Moor, which imparts a gentle, aromatic floral smoke rather than the medicinal iodine notes found in Islay malts. Matured patiently for over two decades in a combination of sherry-seasoned European oak casks, sherry-seasoned American oak casks, and select refill casks, this exquisite malt marries waves of warm spices, dried orange peel, and rich heather honey with a whisper of sweet 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.
