 The Highland Park |

The DistilleryOff the northernmost coast of Scotland lie the remote and fertile islands of Orkney. As one might expect in such a place, tradition is important, and nowhere more so than in the world's most northern Scotch Whisky distillery, Highland Park.
Many believe the unique character of Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky comes from the local peat beds which have absorbed the salt spray of centuries and which impart a rooty, heathery quality to the whisky. Only a carefully measured amount of which is used to fire the kiln for each malting. Oak casks are then used for the 12 year process of maturation, and during this time the spirit mellows. It is a slow, gentle process ensuring that the classic malt has reached perfection.
