Highland Park

HIGHLAND PARK

The Highland Park distillery is quite unique, placing great importance on both the people and the peat used in the production of its whiskies. For over 220 years, Highland Park has been drying its barley over peat that is over 4000 years old, cut from Hobbister Moor. The malted barley used is produced on its own estate, on heather-covered land. The whiskies were traditionally aged in Scottish oak casks, although fortunately, they had to abandon this technique as the casks were far too resinous. Highland Park whisky is shaped by the wild, harsh climate and the turbulent sea surrounding the Orkney Islands. Highland Park whisky is truly a concentrate of history.
