Highland Park Quercus
- 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 They have called this special bottling 'Quercus', the species of oak used to make the casks used at the Highland Park Distillery. The whisky is exclusively matured in 1st Fill Sherry seasoned European oak casks, it showcases the rich flavour of fruit cake and natural dark golden colour that characterise 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.
