Description
Established in 1798 on the Orkney Islands, Highland Park is one of Scotland’s most historical and renowned distilleries. Its whiskies are known across the globe for their harmonious balance of peat smoke and sweet malt, unique to these bottlings thanks both to Orkney’s distinctive climate, and to the skill of the Highland Park team. The 30-Year-Old exemplifies the distillery’s skill in producing well-aged, balanced single malts. Sherry-seasoned oak casks are used for maturation, which adds depth and complexity to this already layered expression.

About this spirit
Highland Park Distillery, Orkney
Highland Park, one of only 2 distilleries in the Orkney Isles, was founded in 1798 by Magnus Euson, and is the world's most northerly distillery. Until it was licensed in 1825 it's production was illicit and Euson was assisted in evading the excisemen by a kinsman who was a Kirk elder and hid the contraband under the pulpit. By the 1880s Highland Park had an established reputation and at one time both the King of Denmark and the Emperor of Russia declared it to be the finest whisky they had ever tasted.
