Description

Highland Park was founded in 1798 and is located in Kirkwall, Orkney Island. It is the most northern distillery in Scotland, about a mile away to the north of Scapa distillery. Highland Park is one of the few distilleries that malt their own barley, it has its own floor maltings and peat beds and two traditional peat-fired kilns. They use a mix of peated and nonpeated barley, with a total phenol content of about 20 ppm. Highland Park is a very renowned distillery, and its single malts constantly win awards in world competitions.

Highland Park 12yr stands as an introductory offering from the distillery, embodying remarkable all-roundedness with its intricate complexity and rich flavor profile. It serves as an ideal choice for novice whisky enthusiasts, as its nuanced character offers a gentle challenge to inexperienced palates. However, Highland Park 12yr is equally a splendid everyday choice for seasoned Scotch aficionados, providing a comforting and familiar experience worth revisiting.

On the nose, it delivers floral and grassy notes intertwined with hints of honey and juicy citrus, followed by a subtle touch of smoke. The palate unfolds with a full and smoky sweetness, accompanied by malty undertones and notes of grainy toast, complemented by delicate nuances of green tea and jasmine. The finish lingers, characterized by heathery tones, subtle smoke, and a peppery spice that adds depth and complexity.
