Highland ParkPark 'Hjarta' 12-year-old

Highland Park Hjarta 12-year-old is a Scotch single malt from Orkney, a style often known for balancing honeyed malt sweetness with a gentle thread of peat smoke. For a novice drinker, it sits in the middle ground between fully unpeated and heavily smoky whisky.

Expect a rounded, approachable profile where malt, subtle sweetness, and light smoke work together rather than competing. That makes it a useful introduction to lightly peated whisky, especially if you want something with a coastal island character without intense medicinal smoke.
