Read More About the Brand Heritage

Founded in 1798, Highland Park is one of the northernmost distilleries in Scotland. Deeply rooted in the Viking culture of the Orkney Islands, the distillery even incorporates stones from the Viking era in its structures. The 18 Year Old embodies the core spirit of 'Viking Honour'—a tribute to ancestry and a commitment to craftsmanship.

Unlike other Scotch whiskies, the wind-swept Orkney Islands lack trees, resulting in peat composed primarily of heather. This unique peat gives Highland Park 18 its delicate, honeyed smoky character, distinct from the intense medicinal notes of Islay whiskies. Maturation in European sherry oak casks provides deep color and spicy dried fruit aromas. Every bottle undergoes a months-long harmonisation process to ensure perfect balance before bottling—a testament to Highland Park's respect for time and detail.
