  Highland park, in the Orkney Islands, is the most northern of all scotch distilleries. It was founded in 1798, and produced illicit whisky until it was licensed in 1825. It is said that an elder of the church hid the whisky under the pulpit if the Customs men called.

  Many believe the unique character of Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky comes from the local peat beds which have absorbed the salt spray of centuries and which impart a rooty, heathery quality to the whisky. Only a carefully measured amount is used to fire the kiln for each malting

  Oak casks are then used for the 12 year process of   maturation, and during this time the spirit mellows. It is a slow, gentle process ensuring that the classic malt has reached perfection.
