“The greatest all-rounder among whiskies, because it combines so many elements: maltiness, smokiness, heather-honey notes and sherry character, in a rich, rounded whole. With its own floor-maltings, the distillery is a classic, too.”
Scotland and its Whiskies, Michael Jackson 2001

The abiding care and attention, the hallmark of Highland Park production, manifests itself in the distinctive aromatic, full-bodied floral sweetness of the whisky. The tension between peated and unpeated malt and between European and American oak results in an incomparable balance of fruit and peat.

All Highland Park is naturally coloured; the only control for consistency is the degree to which sherry oak is used. Colour is achieved by varying the element of refill casks, that is to say oak casks that have previously held whisky and which, by extension, give less colour and are less active than first fill casks. Consistency is also achieved by the practice of cask harmonisation prior to bottling.
