Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a classic Orkney malt known for its balanced character, gentle smoke and signature heather honey sweetness. Matured in a high proportion of sherry seasoned European and American oak casks, it delivers depth and harmony with a clean, approachable style that reflects its island origins.
Crafted at one of Scotland's most northerly distilleries, this 12 year old showcases a delicate thread of aromatic peat, lifted orchard fruit and soft spice. It is an excellent everyday single malt for slow sipping, refined enough for special moments, and welcoming to a wide range of palates.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Bright amber with a golden glow.
Nose
Fragrant heather honey and vanilla, followed by baked apple, lemon zest and dried fruit. A gentle wisp of aromatic peat smoke sits alongside hints of nutmeg and toasted oak.
Palate
Silky and balanced. Flavours of toffee, honeycomb and ripe pear fold into sultana, citrus and light malt biscuit. Subtle peat smoke and warming baking spice add structure without overpowering the fruit.
Finish
Medium to long, clean and softly smoky, with lingering notes of heather honey, oak spice and a touch of citrus peel.
How to enjoy
Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky combines island freshness with sherry cask richness, offering a poised dram that is easy to enjoy neat, with a splash of water, or alongside dark chocolate and lightly smoked cheeses.
