THE DISTILLERY AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Highland Park is a distillery full of magic, both because of its history and its unique location. Its foundation takes us back to the origins of whisky in Scotland, with stills being lit as early as 1798. This was a time when illegal smuggler distilling was evolving and the first licensed distilleries emerged, quickly becoming the biggest names in the nascent Scotch industry.

This story is truly amazing when you consider that Highland Park sits virtually at the end of the world and is one of the northernmost distilleries in operation. Those brave enough to go as far as Kirkwall, the capital of the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland, will find it perched on a hill, a point of the world lashed by the wind and the sea elements, a proudly industrious reality in a harsh environment where people live side by side with a majestic and untameable nature.

Since the end of the Earth, Highland Park has been producing Single Malts since the early 1980s that are considered true masterpieces by connoisseurs, with an entirely personal and unmistakable style. For years Highland Park 18 YO has been one of the most complex and refined whiskies in circulation and from the Kirkwall warehouses there have been many bottlings in recent years that have fed the great love of enthusiasts for the jewel of the Orkneys.

TRADITIONAL MALTING

Highland Park still malts barley in the traditional way, with the malting floor and the characteristic peat-fired kiln. The pagodas emit their characteristic smoke through a process that very few distilleries now use, but which Highland Park keeps alive for around 20% of the raw material used.

This process is not just a fad but a fundamental element of the style of this whisky, as the peat used is local and has unique characteristics: it is very low in lignin, therefore not very smoky, and is composed mainly of moss and heather. The result is a very distinctive aromatic spectrum, slightly smoky but very refined, fragrant and herbaceous.

AGEING WITH STYLE

Highland Park is part of the Edrington Group, which also owns Macallan and Glenrothes. With these geographically distant entities, the Kirkwall distillery shares a predilection for casks that have contained Sherry wine, which seem to marry perfectly with the robust and rich distillate produced by the copper pot stills. Both American and European oak casks are selected and then expertly blended by Master Whisky Maker, Gordon Motion.

On the Orkney Islands the temperature is fairly constant, with small temperature swings between summer and winter; an ideal climate that favours long ageing and allows the Single Malt to interact calmly with the wood, developing a complex profile where the various organoleptic components are perfectly integrated.

SINGLE MALTS: VIKING POWER,
SCOTTISH CLASS

The distillery's range proudly recalls the history of these lands, once inhabited by the Norse, Germanic Viking peoples whose deeds remain epic to this day. The 10 year old is a sharp, savoury whisky, while in the 12 year old honey and citrus enrich the experience. The 18 is simply a masterpiece, with the vinous and peaty notes blended beautifully. Those who want to try a 21 or 25 year old Highland Park will understand why whisky is considered a spirit with enormous potential. In the glass we find liquid poetry.
