About The Whisky

Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a classic Orkney single malt with a beautifully balanced mix of honeyed sweetness, dried fruit, spice and gentle peat smoke. It is one of those reliable Scotch whiskies that offers plenty of character without becoming too heavy, making it a great choice for both new single malt drinkers and those who enjoy lightly smoky island whisky.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Highland Park 12 is mellow, rounded and warming, with heather honey, citrus, fruit cake, sweet malt and a soft smoky finish. It is a spicy, well rounded whisky with natural golden amber colour and subtle smoke on the finish. 

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Heather honey, citrus peel, dried herbs, light peat smoke, malt, dried fruit and soft oak spice.

Palate: Rounded and balanced, with honeyed malt, orange citrus, dried fruit, gentle spice, oak and a touch of heathery peat.

Finish: Soft, warming and lightly smoky, with lingering honey, spice, oak and subtle island peat.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy neat to appreciate its balance of honey, spice and smoke, or add a splash of water to open up more citrus and malt sweetness. It is also excellent over a large ice cube or in a classic Scotch highball where you want gentle smoke without overpowering peat.

About the Distillery / Producer / Region

Highland Park is one of Scotland’s most distinctive island distilleries, located in Orkney, far to the north of mainland Scotland. The distillery is known for its use of aromatic Orkney heathered peat, which gives the whisky a softer, more fragrant smoke than many heavier island or Islay styles. Highland Park 12 is positioned as an introduction to this unique Orkney peat character.

Orkney’s cool maritime climate, salty air and long whisky history help shape Highland Park’s house style, honeyed, gently smoky, rounded and spicy, with dried fruit and oak depth. The result is a single malt that sits beautifully between soft Speyside style sweetness and more robust island smokiness.

Reviews / Accolades

Highland Park 12 Year Old is widely regarded as a benchmark all rounder in single malt Scotch. Highland Park Single Malt is strongly recognised for its balance of heather honey, dried fruit, spice and gentle smoke.
