Description: Highland Park was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson, a direct descendant of Orkney’s early Vikings settlers. With its hallmark flavour profile of ‘intensely balanced smoky sweetness’, Highland Park’s range of award-winning permanent and special editions pays homage to the brand’s proud Viking roots and the exacting standards laid down by Magnus over 220 years ago. Highland Park is made today, just as it was in 1798, using five keystones of production. No other distillery uses all five keystones, so no other whisky tastes like Highland Park.

The multi-award-winning Highland Park 12-year-old is the expression that started it all for the celebrated Orkney distillery. Taking home this year’s Chairman's trophy award for best in category, the flagship single malt balances legendary Orcadian peat with maturation in the finest sherry-seasoned oak casks. 12 Year Old boasts warm winter spices that are engulfed in waves of smoky peat, honey, fruitcake and heather. The rich, well-balanced malty tones and subtle aromatic smoke make this an incredibly food-friendly dram — perfect for sipping neat, over ice or in a classic cocktail.
