Highland Park – 12 Year Old (Hjarta)

Distilled on the windswept Orkney Islands, Highland Park 12 Year Old ‘Hjarta’ embodies a unique heritage shaped by both Nordic and Scottish influences. Bottled in 2009, this special release draws its name – ‘Hjarta’, the Old Norse word for ‘heart’ – from Orkney’s Viking past. Expect a robust, cask strength character reflecting the island’s peat-rich landscape and maritime climate. The whisky offers a complex profile, hinting at heather honey and subtle smoky notes, a true taste of Orkney’s soul.
