About
We are the product of our people, our location and our history. Our whisky, like our island home, is shaped by a wild climate and stormy seas, and by the Vikings who settled here over 1,000 years ago, leaving their mark on our people and our culture. There are people, near and far, whose passion and skill ensures that they – and our whisky – stand apart.
Awarded the first ever 100-point score by the renowned Ultimate Spirits Challenge, Highland Park 25 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is remarkably complex thanks to slow, even maturation in a high proportion of the finest quality first-fill Sherry seasoned European oak casks, and to the fragrant influence of Orkney’s treeless peat. European oak Sherry seasoned casks impart depth of flavor as the whisky matures- at once dark and full bodied with a rich and nutty spiciness, yet brimming with sweet dried fruits, cinder toffee and soft fudge Natural cask driven color (no additives) Bottled at 45.7% alv/vol. for optimal flavor, non-chill filtered.
