Past releases
We’d love to be able to catalogue every single whisky released since the Highland Park Distillery was founded in 1798 – we’re working on it! – but for the moment, we’re delighted to give you a guide to the whiskies we’ve released since 2003. Do you have a rarity in your collection? Happy exploring!
Past releases from our Classic Collection (23)
Every past release from our classic collection reveals both its own distinctive character and our signature DNA – that unmistakable smoky sweetness driven by Orkney’s uniquely heather-rich peat. No longer on sale here, some of these superb whiskies may still be found in specialist shops and online auctions.
