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.
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 15 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?
This Highland Park single malt whisky in the new Viking Pride series is actually the old 18-year-old standard bottle in a new design. This whisky still has that excellent balance between the characteristic spirit and sherry cask. One to have at home!
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%)
With this Highland Park you can clearly taste that the single malt whisky from the Orkneys matured for ten years in a Manzanilla sherry cask. But you can also still taste the well-known HP character. Gleann Mór from Edinburgh bottled this malt at 50%.
There's a good chance you'll win the bet if you say this Unnamed Orkney is a Highland Park whisky. In any case, Signatory Vintage matured this single malt whisky for 12 years in two bourbon casks (hogsheads) before bottling it at 46% in 678 bottles.
This Whitlaw single malt whisky is distilled by Highland Park, says the label on the Càrn Mor bottling by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers. So it's just a Highland Park whisky. 7 years old, finished on scraped and re-charred casks and bottled at 47.5%.
