Orcadian Vintages Experience
Crafting distinctive, perfectly balanced whiskies takes time, hard work and fierce dedication. Come and witness it first-hand by joining us for a tour of our distillery that includes Warehouse 12, not usually open to visitors.
Your tour starts with a short film about Orkney and the origins of Highland Park, accompanied by a dram of a distillery exclusive single cask malt whisky. As part of this special tour, you’ll sample whisky straight from the cask in Warehouse 12 and after the tour you’ll be guided through a tutored tasting of four spectacular Highland Park Vintages - 1968, 1970, 1971, and 1976 – all in front of the open fire in our stunning Eunson Room.
You’ll have the opportunity to purchase the distillery exclusive single cask malt whisky you sampled and, as a souvenir of your visit, you’ll receive your own tasting glass, a signed and framed certificate, and a book about the history of our distillery.

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.
