Highland Park Distillery is the most northerly malt whisky distillery in Scotland and the closest Scottish distillery to the Arctic Circle. Highland Park was established in 1798 and is one of the few Scottish distilleries which continues to malt barley on its own traditional malting floors and to use locally cut peat from Hobbister Moor in its malt kiln. The distillery visitor centre welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours.

The aromatic spices are revealed as ginger, cloves andcamphor. Finish: A lasting impression of rich spiciness is the legacy of asingle malt that is extremely long and surprisingly sweet.
