Frequently asked
Where is Highland Park?
On the Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland — the most northerly Scotch whisky distillery. Orkney was Viking-ruled for centuries (from 875 to 1468) — Highland Park's branding, expression naming, and cultural narrative all draw from this Norse-heritage identity.
How does Orkney peat differ from Islay peat?
Orkney peat from Hobbister Moor is heather-rich, producing gentler, floral-influenced peat character. Islay peat is more maritime (seaweed, iodine, medicinal). Highland Park's peat is aromatic and honeyed rather than intense. Different peated Scotch style.
What are the "5 Keystones"?
Highland Park's production philosophy: (1) aromatic Orkney peat, (2) cool Orkney maturation, (3) sherry oak casks, (4) cask harmonisation, (5) traditional floor maltings (~20% of malt). Combined, these produce Highland Park's distinctive character.
