Sign up to the Inner Circle and receive an invitation to purchase.** A finely balanced and sweet-scented 16 Year Old whisky, with a natural deep amber colour from the cask. With its warm, sun-kissed notes of toasted coconut, apricot and vanilla bean, it’s inspired by the arrival of spring at our distillery in Kirkwall—and the wild swallows that nest here. **Please check delivery and returns tab for countries we can ship to** ABV 46.5% \|, 700ml United Kingdom Change delivery location Product information ------------------- ### Notes - Fragrant heather peat smoke - Violets - Dry spices - Cocoa powder - Sweet vanilla ### Delivery & Returns Only available to countries we can ship to, we can currently only deliver to the following countries: **Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, the UK and the Channel Islands.** The Flavour ----------- On the nose, Swallows’ Return is sweet and enticing, with notes of crème brûlée, toasted coconut and apricot.

Additional refill casks round out the flavour for warmth, smoothness and balance. The Stories ----------- Nature is always present in the landscape around our Orkney home. The vibrant moors of heather, and the wildlife that springs to life after the winter months. The first sighting of Swallows returning to Orkney represents the start of those warmer months, marked with two words chalked onto our kiln door: SWALLOWS BACK. ![Door 1](/sites/default/files/styles/canvas_parametrized_width--3840/public/2026-10/Board-1.png.avif?itok=21f_RMX7) ![Highland Park Gift Note Message - Happy Birthday](/sites/default/files/styles/canvas_parametrized_width--3840/public/2026-10/Highland-Park-Birthday-Message.jpg.avif?itok=FwBSL11I) Personalised gift note ---------------------- Buying for a friend?
