    The Hobbister is the first in a five-part range representing the Five Keystones of Highland Park: -Aromatic Peat - from Hobbister Moor -Hand Turned Floor Maltings - one of the last remaining in Scotland -Sherry Oak Casks - for rich flavour and natural colour -Cool Maturation - on Orkney, off the North coast of Scotland & Cask -Harmonisation - to delivery smoothness Hobbister is Highland Park's peat moor, lying only 7 short miles from the distillery and overlooks the historic bay of Scapa Flow. Parts of the moor are 9,000 years old and nearly four metres deep in places. The winter months of Orkney are ferocious and 100 mile per hour winds frequently batter the island. The exposed and barren moors offer little cover and so no trees survive in these harsh conditions.  Highland Park hand cut their peat in April, leaving it to dry naturally over the long and bright summer months. Once ready, the aromatic note of Highland Park comes from burning their treeless local peat in ancient kiln fires to dry their malted barley.  This is a particularly limited Highland Park with only 1,200 bottles available.  The bottle was sold out within minutes online.

    Highland Park

    The Macallan might be the jewel in the crown of Edrington, but a close second is Highland Park, especially after the brand investment, it has received in recent times. Established in 1798 by David Robertson on the outskirts on Kirkwall on Orkney, history suggests the site was used for illicit distillery way before this official date. In a landscape shaped by nature, ravaged by Vikings and the tides of war, Highland Park manages to bring everything together. A historical whisky that is universally appreciated, offering a little bit of something and famously called an ‘all rounder’, from locally sourced peat to a welcoming rugged characteristic. Highland Park doesn’t need the branding to stand out from the crowd. An increasingly varied core range can seem bewildering to someone new, so start with the 18 year old and being your voyage.
