Highland Park: Orkney's Viking Whisky Legacy
Distilled further north than almost anywhere else in Scotland, Highland Park pairs heather honey sweetness with gentle Orkney peat — here's what to buy.
The Northernmost Distillery in Scotland
Highland Park sits on the Orkney Islands, a windswept archipelago off Scotland's northern coast with a distinct Norse heritage. That Viking history shows up in the branding, but it's the local heather that defines the whisky — Orkney peat is cut from heather-rich moorland rather than the seaweed-heavy peat found elsewhere, giving Highland Park a gentler, honeyed smoke that's unlike any other region in Scotland.
Heather Honey & Sherry Cask
Highland Park 25 Year — $599.99
Heather honey, gentle smoke and dark fruit define this long-aged expression, built primarily on sherry-seasoned oak. It's a whisky that rewards patience — both in the glass and in the cellar, since two and a half decades of Orkney weather have shaped every note.
The Ultra-Aged Tier
Highland Park 50 Year — $19,999.99
Ancient honey, profound peat and timeless spice at 44% ABV. Extremely limited by nature — a whisky this old represents a tiny fraction of what the distillery laid down half a century ago, and it's priced accordingly for serious collectors.
