About Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Perched in the rugged Orkney archipelago of Northern Scotland, Highland Park Distillery has been a symbol of whisky excellence since 1798. Even today, it distinguishes itself by adhering to age-old traditions—hand-turning, malting, and peating its own barley. Just seven miles from the distillery, the peat is harvested from Hobbister Moor, where floral heather imbues it with the signature peat character that Highland Park is celebrated for.
This very peat plays a pivotal role in shaping the flavor of Highland Park Whisky, weaving together classic malty tones with a whisper of floral smoke. Matured in sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks, the 12 Year Old is a symphony of flavors, a testament to the distillery's mastery of balance. This expression has not only captured the hearts of whisky lovers but also garnered prestigious accolades, including the Tried & True Award and a Gold Medal at The Fifty Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky Awards.
Dive into the exquisite balance of Highland Park 12 Year Old and discover why it's the perfect pairing for everything from robust venison and spicy chocolate ginger biscuits to creamy soft cheeses and boldly flavored sushi with wasabi. Experience a taste of Orkney's wild beauty in every sip.
About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
