Production
Highland Park has distilled on the Orkney Islands since 1798, one of the few distilleries that still maintains its own floor maltings. Aromatic Orkney peat, rich in heather and thousands of years of plant matter, is used to dry a portion of the malted barley, giving the whisky its distinctive heather-smoke character. The spirit is then matured a minimum of 12 years in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks.
Perfect For
Whisky drinkers curious about a gentler style of peat, collectors looking to diversify beyond Speyside, and gifting for someone who appreciates a well-told distillery story.
Food Pairing
- Dark chocolate — stands up to the smoke and honey notes
- Blue cheese — a classic pairing with peated whisky
- Grilled meats or smoky seafood — echoes the peat character
Serving Suggestion
Best enjoyed neat, or with a small drop of water to release more of the aromatic compounds.
