Highland Park 10 Year Old (6 Bottles)

Brand: Highland Park | Category: Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 40% | Origin: Orkney, Scotland

Tasting Profile:

Production Details: Matured for a decade in a mix of European and American oak casks seasoned with sherry, which builds layers of vanilla, fruit, and gentle spice. Highland Park cuts its peat from local heather rich moorland rather than coastal bogs, giving the smoke a floral, aromatic quality instead of heavy tar or medicinal notes.

Expert Notes: Widely recognized in the whisky community as a versatile, middle of the road entry point into peated Scotch, praised for keeping its signature Orkney honey and heather balance intact at an accessible proof.

Interesting Fact: Highland Park is one of the very few Scottish distilleries that still malts part of its own barley on site, turning the grain by hand on traditional stone malting floors.

Serving Suggestions: Pour it neat to enjoy the heather honey and citrus notes, or add a splash of cool water to open up the floral character without losing the gentle smoke.

Distillery Background: Founded in 1798 in Kirkwall on the windswept Orkney Islands, Highland Park draws on over two centuries of northern distilling tradition. Known for its local heather peat and sherry seasoned casks, the distillery has built a reputation for whiskies with depth, balance, and a distinct smoky sweet character.
