Highland Park Light of Orkney 11 Year Old Travel Retail Exclusive

Exploring the Light of the North: Highland Park's Newest Core Range Member

Scottish distillery Highland Park recently announced the all-new Light of Orkney 11 Year Old single malt whisky, a release created exclusively for Global Travel Retail. Inspired by the summer sun of the distillery's home in Orkney, it symbolizes the radiant glow of the long northern days and stands as the youngest member of the brand's current core range.

Iconic Heather Smoke Meets Diverse Cask Maturation

This whisky showcases Highland Park's signature heather honey peat style. Aged for 11 years, the liquid is a marriage of sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks, Bourbon casks, and selected refill casks. This combination delivers a balanced palate of Scottish butterscotch, ginger, cinnamon, and red berries, finished with a delicate heather smoke that highlights the brand's core sweet-smoky character.

Packaging Design Capturing the Island's Summer Spectrum

The packaging of Light of Orkney features unique layered textures designed to represent the summer light spectrum of Orkney. The design team used colors to trace the island's wilderness and cliffs under the summer sun. For Edrington Managing Director Kasper Andersen, this whisky serves as the perfect starting point for travelers to explore the brand's "sweet smoky" profile and plays a key role in strengthening the Travel Retail portfolio.

As a cornerstone of the Travel Retail channel, the launch of Light of Orkney aims to attract new consumers and meet diverse shopping needs. This whisky not only enriches the Highland Park range but also carries the responsibility of enhancing brand appeal. As this 11-year-old whisky rolls out globally, the distillery will launch annual promotions to deepen its competitiveness in the global travel retail market.
