Highland Park - Doing things our own way since 1798
Discover the world of Highland Park - the only distillery in the world to use this Orkney heathered peat, and you can taste it in every bottle—as a subtle hint of smoke that delicately offsets but never overwhelms the complex flavours of our whisky.
Highland Park was founded as a side-hustle, by Magnus “Mansie” Eunson, a local church beadle and part-time whisky smuggler, who, after years of hiding bottles under his pulpit, obtained his first whisky making license in 1798.
Over 200 years later, we’re still following Mansie’s lead and making whisky to our own rules, maintaining and reimagining craft traditions that have been left behind on the mainland, while embracing and celebrating the unique, subtly smoky flavour of his secret ingredient: Orkney heathered peat.
