Established in 1798 on Orkney, Highland Park is the most northerly distillery in the
Scotland. Highland Park cuts its own peat which it uses for malting its barley on the premises. The result of the production process is a malt with a heatheriness
and a gentle smokiness that maintains
Highland Park as a firm favourite among
whisky enthusiasts. Approximately 60% of of
the malt the distillery produces
annually is sold as single malt the
remaining 40% goes to Single Cask
bottlings and into blended whisky.
Highland Park no longer sell casks to
independent bottlers.
There are very few other single malt
whisky brands which are so consistently
praised by connoisseurs and experts
alike as Highland Park for its 12, 15, 18,
25, 30 and 40 year old range.
If we were to recommend a single malt
whisky, Highland Park would always be on
the list. In our opinion Dave Broom got
it right when he said in Whisky Magazine
"Arguably the finest whisky in the
world."
