Welcome to Scotland’s most northerly distillery situated on Orkney a large Island of the coast of northern Scotland. In the 18th century an infamous smuggler called Magnus Eunson operated an illicit distillery. When Magnus was caught one of the men who captured him was excise officer John Robertson who took over the running of the distillery in 1816.The distillery was founded in the 1790’s so this makes it one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. Every part of production here was done by hand and even today Highland Park still take time and hardwork by producing malted barley with tradition floor maltings. Highland Park is now owned by the Edrington Group and William Grant & Sons, it produces 2,500,000 litres of whisky annually. The distillery now has a very good visitors centre which was awarded 5 stars as a recognised attraction.

This spirit has been matured in a high proportion of the finest quality first-fill Sherry seasoned European oak casks. This slow maturation process has given this single malt remarkable complexity. A challenging single malt for the whisky beginner but a wonderful experience for the whisky connoisseur. Whatever stage you at in your whisky journey you will fall in love with this truly sensational dram. ‘The darkest whisky of everything Highland Park produce”, “Lots and lots of flavour going on”.
