Orkney Single Malt Cask 13352 35YO
⏳ Drinking Window
As a highly matured 35-year-old single malt Scotch whisky, this spirit is bottled at its absolute peak of maturation. Unlike wine, it will not continue to develop in the bottle, but if kept sealed and stored upright away from direct sunlight, it will remain pristine indefinitely. Once opened, it is best enjoyed within 1 to 2 years to preserve its complex aromatic profile.
🍽️ Food & Wine Pairings
Aged blue cheeses such as Stilton, high-quality dark chocolate, and rich roasted game dishes like venison.
✨ Technical Specifications
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-turned-preacher Magnus Eunson. This extraordinary 35-year-old single cask release (Cask 13352) epitomizes the distillery's signature style. Orkney's unique terroir is defined by its treeless, heather-rich peat from Hobbister Moor, which imparts a distinctively sweet, floral, and aromatic smoke rather than the medicinal brine of Islay. Slowly matured over three and a half decades in a single hand-selected oak cask, this rare expression showcases a masterful interplay of dark dried fruits, heather honey, warm baking spices, and gentle, lingering peat smoke, reflecting centuries of traditional floor-malting and island maturation.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1798 in Kirkwall on the remote archipelago of Orkney, Highland Park stands as one of Scotland's most historic and northernmost single malt distilleries. Owned by the Edrington Group, the distillery fiercely guards traditional whisky-making practices, still conducting its own hand-turned floor maltings and cutting dense, heather-rich peat from nearby Hobbister Moor. Maturation takes place predominantly in premium sherry-seasoned oak casks within Orkney's cool, windswept maritime climate. This unique convergence of terroir and technique yields Highland Park's internationally revered signature style, distinguished by gentle aromatic peat smoke, luscious heather-honey sweetness, and rich, complex spice.
