✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept Orkney Islands, Highland Park is steeped in Viking heritage and Norse mythology. The Fire Edition 15-Year-Old is a legendary release celebrating Muspelheim, the Norse realm of fire, and its ruler, the giant Surtr. Breaking from Highland Park's traditional sherry-oak maturation, this expression was aged entirely in 100% refill Port casks. This unique maturation imparts a vibrant, natural glowing hue and introduces rich notes of dark red fruit, cinnamon, and wild peat smoke. The distillery's signature Orcadian peat—heather-rich and slow-burning—weaves through the palate, creating a complex, fiery, yet beautifully balanced single malt that pays homage to the ancient sagas of the islands.
🍾 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.
