Product details
Highland Park 12 Year Single Malt is a classic Orkney expression celebrated for its remarkable balance of gentle peat warmth, vibrant citrus character, and rich oak influence. Crafted on the windswept Orkney Islands, this iconic release reflects generations of island tradition and meticulous maturation in carefully selected European and American oak casks seasoned with sherry. The combination of first-fill and refill casks creates a harmonious profile that balances sweet richness, warming spice, and subtle earthy depth. Recognized worldwide as an approachable yet characterful Highland malt, Highland Park 12 Year offers a beautifully rounded introduction to the distinctive style shaped by Orkney’s rugged coastal environment and aromatic heather peat.
The aroma opens with fresh floral notes, heather honey, and bright citrus layered over hints of toasted oak and warm baking spice. On the palate, flavors of burnt orange, fruitcake, caramelized sweetness, and gentle peppery spice unfold with a smooth, mellow texture. Delicate touches of jasmine and soft wood tones add elegance and complexity, while subtle earthy peat lingers quietly in the background without overpowering the vibrant fruit character. The finish is long and warming, revealing notes of orange zest, oak spice, and refined savory depth that continue to evolve gracefully. Balanced, inviting, and richly layered, Highland Park 12 Year delivers a timeless Highland tasting experience with both warmth and sophistication.
