✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Highland Park, established in 1798 in the windswept Orkney Islands, is Scotland's northernmost active distillery, deeply tied to its Norse heritage. This 'Full Cask' No 3 expression, matured in a traditional hogshead cask, showcases the distillery's signature style: a harmonious marriage of sweet heather honey, gentle peat smoke, and maritime salinity. Orkney's unique peat, rich in decomposed heather and devoid of wood, imparts a distinct floral smokiness unlike the medicinal peat of Islay. The cool, temperate island climate ensures a slow, even maturation, allowing the spirit to develop profound complexity, oily texture, and notes of dried fruit, soft spices, and toasted oak.

🍾 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.
