The Highland Park Distillery, located on the main island of the rugged Orkney Islands, is said to date back to the 18th century. In any case, it is certain that in 1826 the distillery was granted a license to make single malt whisky. Highland Park (HP) has long been known for its own bottlings, especially because of its own character with notes of heather and a hint of peat smoke. HP is one of the few distilleries with its own malting floor and 'in house' cask storage. In 2017, HP released a new series of standard bottlings, with names that recall the Viking past of the Orkneys.
This 10-year-old 'Viking Scars' is a bottling in the new core series of Highland Park. The distillery profile is recognizable: a hint of smoke, heather and honey and subtle sherry tones. At around 40%, this is an easy drinkable single malt.
Bottled for the Dutch market, this Highland Park single malt whisky. A sturdy, nicely sherryed whisky that needs some time to get balanced, but then you will taste not only tobacco, leather and tea, but also sweet notes such as raisins and chocolate.
For those who are not familiar with Highland Park, or with single malt whisky in general, this 12-year-old Viking Honor is a nice introduction. This bottling covers the entire HP profile, with subtle peat smoke and sherry notes, heather, honey and vanilla
Already 9 years ago this 18 year old Highland Park single malt whisky was bottled. This is a standard bottling from the distillery. It still produces an 18-year-old standard malt. This is a nice option to compare them. Is there a significant difference?
Released by Duncan Taylor in 2008 in the Peerless series. And this Highland Park bottling certainly is unparalleled! The Orkney single malt whisky is no less than 40 years old and can now boast a Whiskybase score of over 92 points. (40.8%)
Signatory Vintage also released special bottlings twenty years ago. In 2003, for example, there was this 10-year-old Highland Park single malt whisky. The Orkney malt matured in a refill sherry cask and was bottled in 'dumpy' bottles at 59.2%.
With the WhiskySponge bottlings, we have a lot of interesting offers again! Like this Orkney Sponge, for example: a 23-year-old Highland Park single malt whisky. The malt matured in a refill hogshead, a bourbon cask. Bottled at cask strength (57%).
With this 21 Year Old November 2019 Release, Orkney distillery Highland Park introduced in 2019 another exceptional bottling of its single malt whisky. The malt matured for two decades in a select combination of sherry and bourbon casks. (46%)
