✨ wine.spec_sheet
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. The 'Full Volume' expression celebrates the artistry of the whisky maker, drawing a parallel to music production where different frequencies are balanced to create a harmonious track. Unlike Highland Park's traditional sherry-seasoned cask maturation, Full Volume was matured exclusively in 100% first-fill bourbon casks. This unique aging process allows the distillery's signature aromatic, heather-rich peat smoke—born from Orkney's treeless, maritime landscape—to intertwine beautifully with intense notes of creamy vanilla, sweet citrus, and warm spices, offering a vibrant and beautifully balanced sensory experience.
