Highland Park 12
================

Spicy &amp; Well Rounded

£47

A fresh-faced, zesty whisky with a natural golden amber colour direct from the cask. Spicy but mellow, with subtle smoke on the finish, it’s a great introduction to the unique warmth of Orkney heathered peat—and the convivial spirit of our island home.

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.
