Highland Park 12 yr Single Malt Whiskey 750ml
Highland Park 12-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky delivers the distillery’s founding vision straight from the coast of Orkney, Scotland. By marrying lightly peated local barley with honeyed richness from dual-seasoned casks, this expression establishes the benchmark for Island-style malts. Each cask matures under the natural influence of North Atlantic sea air, contributing to the spirit’s characteristic maritime heather character and remarkably smooth finish.
Aged in a combination of European oak sherry seasoned casks and American oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whiskey develops a complex layering of dried figs, citrus zest, vanilla, white pepper, and toasted almonds before settling into its familiar golden hue. The distillery maintains traditional pot-still production while avoiding overly aggressive vapor pressure, which preserves the delicate esters that give the nose its fresh, floral brightness. Bottled at 750 milliliters and 40 percent alcohol by volume, it offers a consistently balanced pour without heavy wood dominance, letting the grain provenance and aging environment take center stage.
