About

Highland Park 21 Year Old

At Highland Park we insist on an uncompromising approach to whisky-making. We’re one of only a handful of distilleries that slowly malts its barley on the stone floor, physically turning it by hand for a more balanced flavour. Next, we smoke it over local aromatic peat, hand-cut from Hobbister Moor to bring a unique fragrant heather character to the whisky. Then it’s placed into oak casks – not just your usual bourbon casks though – sherry oak casks from Spain that cost ten times as much, but bring priceless natural colour and flavour to our whisky.
