✨ 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 Magnus Eunson. The Cask Strength Edition Batch 3 represents the distillery's malt in its purest, most robust form. Unlike mainland whiskies, Highland Park's character is deeply shaped by the island's unique, treeless peat, which is rich in decomposed heather. This imparts a distinctive, aromatic floral smoke rather than a heavy medicinal peatiness. Matured primarily in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, this expression is bottled directly at natural strength without chill-filtration, offering an intense harmony of sweet heather honey, rich dried fruits, warm spices, and gentle peat smoke.
