✨ Technical Specifications
Highland Park, founded in 1798 on the windswept Orkney Islands, is steeped in Viking history and rugged maritime terroir. This highly collectible Single Cask Series 'Hong Kong Edition 3' represents a rare, single-barrel expression (Cask No. 7251) aged for 13 years. Distilled from local malted barley dried over ancient Orcadian heather-rich peat, it was matured in a first-fill American oak Sherry hogshead before being bottled in 2020. The first-fill American oak Sherry cask imparts a unique profile of creamy vanilla, toasted coconut, and bright citrus peel, beautifully balancing Highland Park's signature aromatic peat smoke and heather-honey sweetness. This release celebrates the distillery's legendary craftsmanship and the deep connection between Orkney's wild climate and slow, traditional maturation.
🍾 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.
