Highland Park 12 Years Old 1lt (2000s Edition)

Founded in 1798, Highland Park stands as Scotland's northernmost distillery, located in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. This remote archipelago's unique landscape, with its windswept heaths and ancient Norse heritage, has profoundly influenced the distillery's character for over two centuries. Highland Park is one of the few distilleries that still maintains its own floor maltings and uses locally sourced peat from Hobbister Moor, enriched with the native heather that grows abundantly on the islands. The Highland Park 12 Year Old, presented in a 1 litre bottle, serves as the distillery's signature expression and cornerstone of their range. This single malt whisky embodies the traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged since the distillery's establishment, including the slow pot-still distillation and the use of both European and American oak sherry casks for maturation, a practice that Highland Park has maintained throughout its history.
