Highland Park Distillery is located on the Orkney Islands at the northernmost tip of Scotland. Since its founding in 1798, it has upheld an uncompromising pursuit of quality. Ruled by Viking culture for centuries, this fierce and unyielding spirit is deeply imprinted in the distillery's soul.
Unlike other Scotch whisky regions, Orkney's peat contains an exceptionally high proportion of heather. When used to kiln malt, this peat imparts a unique, honeyed and floral smokiness to the new make spirit. Highland Park 12 Years Old is matured in costly sherry seasoned oak casks, allowing the spirit to slowly develop deep and elegant complexity under the constant, cool sea breezes of Orkney.
This 'Viking Soul' whisky has won numerous gold medals in international competitions and has been praised by renowned whisky critics as the ultimate all-rounder in single malt whisky. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or given as a gift, it always displays extraordinary taste.
