✨ 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 and vestryman Magnus Eunson. This extraordinary 28-year-old single malt, drawn from a single cask (Number 11167) and bottled in 2001, represents the pinnacle of island distillation. Orkney's unique terroir is defined by its treeless, maritime landscape, which produces a highly distinctive peat rich in heather. When burned to dry the malted barley, this peat imparts a delicate, floral smokiness rather than the heavy, medicinal peat found in Islay whiskies. Combined with nearly three decades of slow maturation in oak, this expression delivers a complex tapestry of heather honey, dried dark fruits, warm baking spices, and a subtle whisper of maritime brine.
🍾 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.
