Highland Park Highland Park Distillery is the most northerly malt whisky distillery in Scotland  and the closest Scottish distillery to the Arctic Circle. Highland Park was established in 1798 and is one of the few Scottish distilleries which continues to malt barley on its own traditional malting floors and to use locally cut peat from Hobbister Moor in its malt kiln. The distillery visitor centre welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours. Rich and sweet with a hint of smoky peat, picking up soft oak tones. Medium to long, subtle oak with a hint of rich fruit cake. Finish: Long, rich and deliciously complex.
