Highland Park's distinctive character is shaped by its use of local heather-rich peat and the temperate maritime climate, which contributes to a slow and even maturation process. The distillery's commitment to craftsmanship is evident in its floor maltings, use of sherry oak casks for aging, and the careful selection of its casks. This results in whiskies that are celebrated for their depth, ranging from gently smoky and honeyed to richly peated, embodying the spirit of the remote Orkney archipelago.
