Highland Park, established in 1798, is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, located on the Orkney Islands. The distillery's rich history is deeply intertwined with the rugged landscape and Norse heritage of the region. Founded by Magnus Eunson, a direct descendant of the Vikings, Highland Park has maintained its traditional methods of whisky production for over two centuries, making it a revered name in the whisky world.
Highland Park is renowned for its unique approach to whisky making, which includes using locally sourced peat and sherry-seasoned oak casks. The distillery produces a range of single malt whiskies that are celebrated for their balanced complexity, featuring notes of heather honey, dried fruit, and aromatic smokiness. Notable expressions include the Highland Park 12 Year Old, 18 Year Old, and the limited edition Viking series, which pay homage to the distillery's Norse roots.
