✨ Technical Specifications
Highland Park, established in 1798 by the legendary smuggler and preacher Magnus Eunson, stands as one of the world's northernmost Scotch whisky distilleries on the windswept Orkney Islands. This legendary 25-year-old single malt, bottled in the spring of 2019, represents the pinnacle of Orcadian craftsmanship. The distillery's signature character is shaped by the ancient, woodless peat of Hobbister Moor, which is rich in heather and imparts a uniquely sweet, floral smoke. Slowly matured in hand-selected sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, this expression marries the intense warmth of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warm spices with the gentle, lingering whisper of maritime peat smoke, reflecting the wild, elemental nature of its island home.
🍾 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.
