✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Highland Park, established in 1798 by the legendary smuggler and Viking descendant Magnus Eunson, stands as one of Scotland's most northerly distilleries on the windswept Orkney Islands. This rare single cask bottling, Cask No 5742, was distilled and aged for 10 years before being bottled in 2009 exclusively for Whisky Live Tokyo. Highland Park's signature style is deeply influenced by the island's unique heather-rich peat, which burns cooler than Islay peat, imparting a delicate, floral, and aromatic smoke. Combined with the maritime climate and traditional floor maltings, this single malt delivers a complex profile of heather honey, coastal brine, and soft, sweet smoke that reflects the rugged beauty and Norse heritage of Orkney.
🍾 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.
