3 Highland Park whiskey bottles from the core range

Highland Park is the pride of Orkney, Scotland. The purveyors of single malt Scotch have been at it since 1798. For a bit of context, Kentucky was just six years old at that time. The long-lasting brand boasts generations worth of whisky-making talent from its headquarters near the North Sea.

The label has gone on to become one of the most sought-after in the land. Highland Park is known to do things its own way in the name of better flavor, like using heathered peat for a flavor that better showcases a special sense of place. The trend continues with Highland Park's latest release, which takes advantage of unique casks to inject a complementary and unique array of flavors.

Once it completes maturation, it’s matured for another three years in high-toast, no-char maple barrels. But that’s not all. It’s finished in high-toast maple barrels for another 20 months before bottling.
