The story behind it

The maker

Highland Park was founded in 1798 by Magnus Eunson, a descendant of Viking pioneers who worked as a butcher by day and an illicit distiller by night. Located in Kirkwall, Orkney, it remains one of the northernmost distilleries in the world, dedicated to keeping centuries-old traditions alive.

How it is made

Crafted on the windswept Orkney Islands, the Highland Park distillery & rickhouse utilize local hand-cut peat rich in heather. This unique environment shapes a maritime-influenced spirit with incredibly well-integrated smoke.
