Producer Information: Highland Park Distillery

Highland Park Distillery, established in 1798 on the windswept Orkney Islands of Scotland, draws deeply from its remote northern location to shape its distinctive single malt Scotch whiskies. Founded by Magnus Eunson, a local butcher and church officer with a reputation for illicit distilling, Highland Park has always embraced traditional methods such as floor malting and the use of locally cut peat rich in heather, imparting a subtle floral smokiness unique to Orkney. The distillery’s commitment to long maturation in sherry-seasoned oak casks further defines its balanced style. While Highland Park is celebrated for its core range of single malts like the 12 Year Old Viking Honour and limited-edition bottlings inspired by Norse heritage, it does not produce wines or other spirits outside the whisky category, focusing exclusively on crafting exceptional Scotch that reflects both place and tradition.
