Rare and Exclusive Experience

Rare and Exclusive Experience

Highland-Park-Distillery-Gates
When we say rare and exclusive, we really mean rare and exclusive. This is a distillery experience like no other. Not only will you enjoy an extended tour that includes a journey into our pagoda roofs, you’ll also become one of an exceptionally small group of people fortunate enough to have sampled our oldest and rarest whiskies.
Following your extended tour, which includes a distillery-exclusive dram and whisky straight from the cask in Warehouse 12, we’ll whisk you away to our beautiful Magnus Eunson room for an expertly tutored tasting of four exceptional whiskies. As you relax in front of the fire, you’ll get the perfect introduction to the unique complexities found in two of our older whiskies.
You’ll then enter the exclusive world of our 46 Year Old Single Cask and our 50 Year Old 2018 Release – exceptional rarities, which few people in the world will ever be able to say they’ve tasted. Created from a single cask, our 46 Year Old has never been released for sale, but is reserved exclusively for our most important distillery guests.
At the end of your distillery experience, as well as the opportunity to purchase an exclusive single cask whisky (subject to availability), to mark your visit you’ll also receive a personal gift bag unique to this experience with our compliments.

Our Distillery will be closed to guests from April to December 2024. We will be hosting experiences at our Kirkwall store during this period. Please check our Visit page in the coming weeks as we share information about our new experiences.

SILENT SEASON

Our silent season usually runs from July to September although this may change without notice. Production may also be paused at other times during the year to allow for essential maintenance. We continue to offer tours during downtimes in production and make an extra effort to give visitors a full insight to our whisky making process. Please note that bookings will not be refunded and no compensation will be paid for tours affected by maintenance or the silent season. Please contact us on [email protected] if you have any questions.
