Distillation & Maturation Crafted on the remote Orkney Islands, Highland Park 15 Year Old is matured predominantly in first-fill sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. Bottled at 46%, this single malt perfectly balances heather smoke with the richness of sherry oak, showcasing the distillery’s unique coastal climate and traditional floor malting practices.
Nose Lifted and layered, with aromas of dried fruit, citrus peel and warm spice. Heather smoke rises gently, woven through notes of vanilla, leather and honeyed oak.
Palate Silky and complex, the palate opens with baked apple, dark chocolate and dried orange, followed by cinnamon, nutmeg and roasted nuts. The signature Highland Park peat is aromatic and floral—never overpowering—carrying into a long, smoky finish with hints of toasted oak and spice.
Food Pairing Pair with aged cheddar, roasted lamb, or dark chocolate truffles. Also excellent with a smoky mezze platter or chargrilled venison.
Cellaring Ready to enjoy now, though this will continue to shine long after opening. Let it breathe to explore its full depth.
Interesting Fact Highland Park is one of the northernmost distilleries in Scotland, using locally cut Orkney peat rich in heather—giving its whiskies a gentler, more aromatic smokiness than typical Islay malts.
