Description
Release No. 1 comes from Cask 2863, a first-fill, sherry seasoned, American oak butt laid down in 1998 and left to mature for 20 years in Warehouse 12 at our Kirkwall distillery. Bottled in 2019 at 57.9% ABV, it’s a warm and spicy single malt revealing notes of sweet pastry, a dusting of aromatic spices and tangy lemon zest, wrapped in a cloud of gentle peat smoke.

About the Distillery:
Highland Park distillery was founded by Magnus Eunson, a butcher and church officer by day and illicit distiller and whisky smuggler by night. In 1798 he was caught illegally distilling whisky on the site. In 1826, nearly 30 years later, Highland Park received an official licence to distill whisky.
The name of the distillery does not refer to the Scottish Highlands, but rather to the fact that the distillery was founded on an area called 'High Park' distinguished from a lower area nearby.
