Read More About the Brand Heritage

Established in 1798, Highland Park is one of Scotland's most remote distilleries. Deeply rooted in the Viking culture of the Orkney Islands, the distillery even incorporates stones from the Viking era in its architecture. The 18 Year Old embodies the core spirit of 'Viking Honour', representing a commitment to craftsmanship and ancestry.

Unlike other Scotch whiskies, the wind-swept Orkney Islands lack trees, meaning the peat used is composed primarily of ancient heather. This unique peat imparts a delicate, honeyed smokiness to Highland Park 18 Years Old, distinct from the medicinal iodine notes found in Islay malts. Matured in European sherry-seasoned oak, the spirit develops deep color and spicy dried-fruit aromas. Every bottle undergoes a 'Harmonisation' period for several months to ensure perfect balance before bottling—a testament to Highland Park's respect for time and detail.
