Highland Park Distillery

The distillery’s exact history is a bit of a folklore mystery, with many debates about its original date of founding, although the bottles all state 1798 in reference to when distilling is ‘officially’ began to take place. Its name originates from the location in the Island’s region known as ‘High Park’.
Today, it is still active and is now owned by The Edrington Group. The current capacity is 2.5 million litres of spirit per annum, and it is one of the few distilleries in Scotland to still do a proportion of its malted barley in house using its own Orcadian peat source to create a gently smoky characteristic.
