✨ Technical Specifications
Highland Park, established in 1798 on the windswept Orkney Islands, is steeped in Viking history and lore. Founded by the legendary smuggler Magnus Eunson, the distillery sits on a remote archipelago where trees cannot survive the fierce Atlantic gales. This unique terroir is reflected in the Hobbister Moor peat used to kiln the malted barley; being composed almost entirely of decomposed heather rather than wood, it imparts a distinctively sweet, floral, and aromatic smoke. This specific 'Full Cask' No 207 release, matured in a refill barrel, coaxes out the distillery's true DNA—balancing coastal brine, heather honey, soft peat smoke, and delicate orchard fruits in a harmonious, unadulterated expression of Orkney's rugged landscape.
🍾 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.
