Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 0.7l
Experience the iconic taste of Orkney with Highland Park 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Bottled at 40% vol. in the standard 0.7-liter format for European and global markets, this classic flagship release represents the heart and soul of Scotland’s northernmost distillery in Kirkwall, standing as one of the world’s most universally acclaimed single malts.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, Highland Park 12 Year Old achieves its harmonious balance through five distinct pillars of production: hand-turned floor maltings, aromatic heathered peat from Hobbister Moor, cool island maturation, sherry-seasoned oak casks, and harmonious cask harmonization. Aged for a minimum of twelve years in a combination of first-fill European and American sherry-seasoned oak casks alongside select refill casks, this single malt balances sweet, rich wood fruitiness with gentle, aromatic peat smoke.
In the glass, it displays a bright, natural glowing amber-gold color. The nose opens with an inviting, highly aromatic bouquet of fresh heather honey, Seville orange peel, and dried fruitcake, balanced by light floral jasmine notes and faint, wispy peat smoke. On the palate, a smooth, rounded, and elegant mouthfeel unleashes layers of sweet caramel, butterscotch, and warm baking spices, complemented by citrus zest, toasted oak, and a subtle salinity. The finish is clean, long, and satisfyingly warm, slowly tapering with lingering echoes of sweet dried fruits, soft wood spice, and signature Orkney heather smoke.
An indispensable core bottle for single malt collectors, Scotch enthusiasts, and luxury gift-givers, Highland Park 12 Year Old is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of pure spring water in a crystal Glencairn glass. Order your bottle today from World of Whiskey Shop.
