Highland Park Cask Strength Heather bottle and pack with heather and marshmallows

The Flavour

Aromatic and intense. Fragrant notes of bonfire smoke, vanilla pods and brandy butter on the nose, followed by creamy marshmallow and nutty notes of macadamia on the palate, offset by peppery spice and smooth floral smokiness. The finish lingers with vanilla sweetness and perfumed smoke.

The Craft

For this release we finely balanced the influence of Orkney peat-smoked barley and sherry-seasoned oak casks. The whisky’s rich sweetness comes from first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks, which have been rounded off with select refill casks for smoothness and balance. It’s been non-chill filtered and bottled at a cask strength of at 63.6% ABV and gets its natural deep amber colour directly from the cask without the use of additives.

The Story

Highland Park’s peat is responsibly sourced from Hobbister Moor, just a few miles down the road from its distillery in Kirkwall. At this remote northern latitude, the wind is so strong that trees find it difficult to grow, but, every summer, the landscape comes alive with a purple carpet of heather. Over many millenia, this heather has infused itself into the moor resulting in peat with a unique, floral character. And when this peat is used to make Highland Park
whisky, it results in something equally unique—a subtle hint of aromatic smoke that’s present in every bottle
