The flavour
As invigorating as the Orkney breeze. Fresh, clean and floral on the nose, with heathered honey and a touch of citrus. Sweet and spicy on the palate, with toasty notes of burnt orange, jasmine and fruitcake. A long finish with peppery spice, woody notes and orange zest, and the subtle, aromatic kick of smoke that you only get from Orkney heathered peat.
The craft
To create the well-rounded character of the 12 year old, we harmonise whiskies matured in hand-selected, first-fill, sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, which together deliver its main flavour profile of spicy-sweetness and mellow warmth. Additional refill casks round out the powerful notes from the first-fill casks, resulting in a classic, versatile whisky that’s always finely balanced.
The stories
We first launched Highland Park 12 in the 1970s, as the first whisky in our core range. It’s since become a fixture in the local pubs in Orkney—where it’s now as much a part of daily life as fishing, farming and doing your best to stay upright in our bracing winds.
Enjoy it with...
The sweet, spicy roundness of the 12-year-old make it a great pairing with game, spiced biscuits and soft cheeses like French Brie. But it’s also a surprisingly good match for sweet chilli crisps.
