Highland Park 12YO

For more than two centuries, Highland Park has been distilling whisky unique to the windswept wilds of Orkney — an archipelago of some 70 islands, characterised by rich pastures, a temperate microclimate, and heathery peat. Highland Park’s particular peat, cut from the distillery’s own grounds, is part of what lends the whisky its characteristically soft smoke, and honeyed sweetness – imbuing the spirit with the very earth of Orkney.

Highland Park 12yo remains one of the gold standard malts for other distillery bottlings to aspire to. With a delicious sweetness (heather-honey is their preferred description), a trace of smoke and a warming, silky mouth feel.
